    Not to be trite, but I too want to express my profound respect for Coach K's accomplishments throughout the last 30+ years, that now enable his total Division I victories to exceed Dean Smith's.

    I voted for Nolan, but did anybody else think his shot looked funny last night? His feet were scissoring as he went up and I don't remember seeing that from him very much, and his shot (even his free throws) looked flatter than usual. The shots went in, so this is not so much a criticism as a curiosity, at least for now. Did anybody else notice this, or was I hallucinating?

Again, it's not like Kyle can just shut off for tourney but I'm also not worried about him doing this. He is so consistant and so good that we are all so spoiled to expect his 15+ points, 5+ rebounds, and his unmeasurable leadership contributions on the court.

    Nolan, on the other hand, is the most critical piece to our team this year. He has been given the task of playing out of position and been told to lead the #1 team in the nation to another National Championship. The pressure must be incredible. His poise would tell you otherwise. KI being sidelined has put Duke's season in the hands of the finest off ball guard in the game. Notice, I didnt say on ball. He is not only accepting his role, he's destroyin it! He is adapting to play the most challenging posistion in college basketball and its flawless. At the end of the year, I think Nolan will have made Harrison Barnes' Preseason All American vote look absolutely silly. Nolan will, and should, be on every ballot in this country. His play determines our finale and no matter the outcome, we all have to appreciate Nolan for everything that he is as player. We are privaledged to watch him.
    I absolutely agree with you. I don't know how any player can be more impressive, all things considered, than Nolan Smith. I love this kid.

    I did notice that. Not a lot of arc on his shots. One foul shot ( that went in ) was a laser.

    I did. Not the foot thing, but I thought his free throws were flatter than I have ever seen. I would rather see more arch personally, but like you said, the shot was going in which is all that matters.

    The really exciting thing about Nolan is seeing how much better he has gotten each year. He needed to improve after his sophomore year, and he did--a lot. But he looks even better this year, which is almost too much to hope for. Clearly, he must have a great work ethic, a lot of determination, and a good sense of what he needs to work on at any given time.

    Seth was my second option but I chose Nolan overall.

    I remember remarking that Nolan's free throws look awful flat in the previous game. Not near as much arch as he usually has. Then I saw the same trajectory on his FTs against unc-G. Go Duke!
