Thanks, you know some days you go through life not knowing if anything you say has meaning. And then someone says “Cool story bro” and you realize everything’s going to be ok.
Duke has the POY, Defensive POY and Rookie of the Year.....

I'll bring this back to the conference awards as original. You think Tre Jones is the ACC POY? Really??
Footnote - does an air ball scored on count as an assist or a rebound in the ACC?
Good Lord I can’t wait til K retires and duke falls off the face of the earth. It’s going to happen, sure as shit. Maybe then their spoiled, bratty, baby shaking fanbase will stay on their board. I mean, find another team to cheer for.
Well that's an opinion and not one I necessarily disagree with but it doesn't mention any of that on the trophy.
Nah, I think Carey was. But Duke gamed it for Jones. But it’s equal media and staff from every team who votes on it so they all could have easily picked someone else.
Appreciate it - so basically as with ALL things Duke - Duke "gamed" it - and you admit it. Unusual to have a Dukie admit the bias - but I'll take it.
Some days I go through life and wonder if anything I say has meaning - then I get a Dukie to admit bias - and I realize some truths can't be denied.
To be fair, as I said, the voters could have easily selected Nwora or Mooney for it who both finished with more votes than Tre for all-ACC teams.
No - to be fair and accurate - you said "Duke gamed it for Jones"... to be fair and accurate....
ACC/ESPiN/Bilas continue to hype Jones - who is average but active. Hype...
I’m definitely not taking back what I said. Duke gamed it. But why did everyone vote for Jones then? Are all the other ACC teams in it to promote Duke? If so I really wish they would have let us win a few more games this year.
All that and they still couldn’t win the All Cheaters Conference in a down year, Humm sounds like exceptionally poor coaching to me !!and still finished 3rd in the ACC.
Well, I think this is a down year for many schools and conferences. While Duke had some head scratchers, NCSU is a tournament team, although Wake and Clemson pretty much suck.
This year is so weird that Clemson beat Duke, FSU, Louisville, NCSU, Syracuse and finally won at UNC for the first time ever.
UK has had some tough ones to explain as well, not just Duke, and from teams that will not make the NCAA tournament.
Actually, some of the UNC writers left Tre off their 1st team All ACC, which is why Tre finished 4th in the All ACC voting.
The Duke fans on here defending K over his underwhelming the last few years despite having the best talent in the NCAA is hilarious.
This is not true, the won the regular season title in 2010 and won the ACC tournament title in 2017 and 2019.
Nope, it's true. They shared it in 2010. Last solo championship was in 2006.
And I didn't say anything about the ACC tourney. I understand they have won that more recently. I was talking only about regular season conf. title. More telling of the strength of a team anyhow.
Eh, it’s been disappointing results for sure but I’m not going to complain about a coach with 5 NCAA titles who keeps bringing in great talent past the age of 70.
Also Cal has been bringing in some pretty awesome talent too and only has that one title.
I still think the only reason why the hype got so high was because of the blowout in their first game. Everyone thought they were world beaters after that. Even with the personnel they had, they still struggled against lessor teams. They struggled to put away UCF at full strength. Then they struggled against VTech. It wasn't a huge surprise to me they finally lost to MSU. Zion was great. Barret was good. But as a team, they were merely okay.
It's safe to say that nobody on here values what you say.
Gotcha. If anyone wants to say that Coach K has underachieved, fine, I think in some respects, he has. He's had great talent and not capitalized as often as the fans would like. These things definitely happen, the players get tight, the staff can not adjust, etc.
It's hard to win and it's hard to win a title. If Duke can win a title over the next few years, they could have 3 titles in an 11-12 year span. I think fans will take that.
Lol if he got the treatment K does, he would have at least six. Yes, six. Easily.
My apologies, I was wrong about the winning 3 times. They won twice, 2017 and 2019, and was in the conference title game in 2014. So, they've been in the conference title game 3 times recently and won 2.
I can admit that I was wrong.
You really are a special kind of pathetic if you're really going to talk seeding when you're a fan of the frauds who have had preferrential seeding since Jay Bilas had hair
That's the only straw you you guys can cling to. The fraud would still be bringing in about 3-4 Matthew Hurt's a year if hadn't decided to copy every single thing Cal does at UK. The bag men at Nike have made him relevant with recruits, absolutley not himself.
They were merely okay as a team because K didn't manage it properly.
That team had more weapons than our 2012 team.
They had a once in a generation player (Zion), they had a transcendemt player (RJ), they had a 5* pg who, we were told, was the best on ball defender in the country (Jones) and they had another 5* burger boy wing in Reddish, who would have been a star player on.most other rosters in the country.
Sorry, but that team should have won the title, but if that ball rolls in, they lose in the 2nd round. If that ball rolls in, they lose in the sweet 16, then finally they lose in the E8 and got manhandled in the process by a team that got beat by Texas Tech.
K is a hell of a coach, but that doesn't mean he is any good at coaching freshmen.

If Coach K hears you have questioned his ability he would point to all the banners in the rafters with his middle finger.
He was recruiting pretty well when Cal was just hitting puberty so I don’t think Cal has anything to do with it.
Haha, that's funny. Cal is the same way, if people question him, he takes the same stance. All the great coaches do it, even Roy Williams. It's just the way coaches are. Funny thing is, a lot of the fans on this board question Cal pretty often.
Fat, dumb, and stupid is no way to go through life son
Now you’re just throwing out baseless insults because you don’t want to try to put together a coherent argument.
I don't like fans of the frauds. I don't like them on this board. If I were in charge, they would never be on here. If you're looking for someone to acknowledge your school or your coach and show them respect......look elsewhere.
Cal has never said to look at his accomplishments like Coach K did. If you can find one instance I will admit I am wrong.
