So what you're saying is that all those Tar Heels won a lot more championships when they didn't play for UNC than when they actually were? You should be very proud of that fact.

For all my tarhole friends to receive their NIT tees, sweat shirts and hats. Go Duke!

Since Duke and UNC are in the NCAA, not the NBA, I fail to see any relevance...unless you're trying to use the ratio of NCAA championships to NBA players to demonstrate the extent to which UNC has historically underachieved.

No, to be truly petty, one would have to mention:

Career point scored on own goal:

Rasheed Wallace 2.

(The only points he has scored in the paint all year)

I always thought Ferry was the only Duke player to win a NBA championship. I guess I forgot about Mullins.

Current NCAA Men's Basketball Championships... Duke 1, UNC NIT Runner-up.

I don't mean to sound snarky :D - but Duke basketball has a history that predates K (and that Bucky wasn't able to completely erase.)

With Jerry Stackhouse playing again (and Sean May picked up by Sacramento, I believe)... I actually think the schools are tied with number of active players.

Haven't been looking at the board that much lately (sore [NIT] loser... I'll own it), so I'm not sure why this thread was started, so I guess I shouldn't get too defensive about the responses to it...

But I will.

Duke is the 2010 National Champion. That adds to the history of the programs, it doesn't erase it. That'd be an "end of discussion" put-down if Carolina hadn't won the year before. That's kind of like saying that 1993 canceled Duke's back-to-back (and yes, I'm sure there were Tar Holes that liked to spout that back then... and that's what some of you sound like now).

Duke put the beatdown of all beatdowns on the NIT Runner Up Heels this past year. You're 29 points better than College of Charleston, but only half as much better than Dayton.

It just seems people are more excited about the one year dominance (we'll see if it's and counting) than you were when, say, you beat us when we were good (2008, 2005). I would think those two victories would be more exciting than either of this past year's, except for what this past year's ended.

(Oh, and many of you... not all... like to count the Highest Paid NBA Alum as a plus for Duke, so why wouldn't Carolina point out the NBA Championships as a plus for Carolina? Fingers crossed: three more players this year with 'Tawn and the Cavaliers... Danny can have his second... your Danny, our's would only get his first in the scenario).

I'm just bitter that Rashad McCants failed out of the NBA and is now in Europe (I think). He would have put us over the top of NBA'ers.

Oh, and that Duke Championship and dominant season thing. ;)

Don't worry should have Demarcus cousins and Daniel Ewing in the league oh yea and J-will. But I was referring to the thread starter but that's cool. haha

I get so tired of hearing the same old arguments about how many players this univeristy or that one produces in the nba. Last time I checked success is measured by wins and national championships, not how many players a program can produce in the nba. Quite frankly I could give two hoots about how many duke players are in the nba or how many championship rings they have in the nba. Do I want them to have success in the nba when they leave here? Of course. I may even check in on box scores from time to time to see how they are doing. But that's where it ends.

Just ask KY how awesome it is to send five guys to the nba, without one of them being a national champion.

Since when is nba players and nba statistics the benchmark for successul NCAA programs? Unfortunetly its become that way, which to me is everything that is wrong with collage basketball these days.

What on earth was the point of this thread?

Duke: 2010 National Champs.

Carolina didn't even win the NIT.

Oh, and Kyle Singler is coming back.


This feels like a bitter post.

I'm partial to the "Shouting N... C... U..." part, myself. I have to plead ignorance, was that the name of the university when we were the White Phantoms?

I don't mind using that metric, either. :)

Bad news, everyone. Looks like Carolina is going to have a good chance at increasing this margin next year.

And thus the conclusion that coaching at UNC must be the reason.

That's not really fair - there could be other reasons for this dramatic underachievement - like poor fan support in the Dean Dome and elsewhere

You don't seem bitter to me. I'm reserving judgment on the OP.

Then again, I'm feeling surprisingly magnanimous these days. Can't imagine why.

As I've said before, I don't know why you guys hang out here at a time like this. I mean that as a compliment, BTW. I lack that kind of intestinal fortitude.

Maybe we could change this thread to a discussion of "With all that talent, how did Dean only win 2 titles?"

I think 1984, Jordan's jr year is at the top of the list. Jordan, Perkins, Smith, Doherty, Daughtery, Lebo, Hale. That's off the top of my head so may be a little off. Jordan won 1 college title and 6 NBA ones. Dean recruited his way to the front of the pack, then coached his way back towards the middle.

Y'all got the terminology backwards. You shoot at your own goal in basketball. It's the opposite of most other "goal sports". NBA rules:


Section I-Basket/Backboard
a. A team's basket consists of the basket ring and net through which its players try to shoot the ball.

-----
d. A field goal accidentally scored in an opponent's basket shall be added to the opponent's score, credited to the opposing player nearest the shooter and mentioned in a footnote.
e. It is a violation for a player to attempt a field goal at an opponent's basket. The opposing team will be awarded the bal at the free throw line extended.
