2024-2025 Men’s Basketball Season General Discussion

I'm just amazed that someone who is that much of an overt public jerk appears to be a completely different guy when it comes to his team. His guys love him, and he continues to be a very effective coach. Such a strange dichotomy.

He's good friends with McDermott too.

The fans were rightfully letting him have it all game, changing at him at every stoppage. *This* is fair play, imo.... There are far bigger things to get worked up over., like threatening to punch a fan last year...

Who's "worked up"? Bemused is more accurate.
 
I watched a good portion of both SEC games last night. Didn't care who won. Boy are those games physical. It is obvious why you need to recruit people who look like James. That is the way the game is now played at the highest levels. Don't like it but that's how it's going to be. Duke better practice with 2x4s to be ready for the tournament.

Yeah, it's a concern for sure. Saw some of that size and physicality vs Clemson and a few (or more than a few?) SEC schools are even stronger.

The only fans I can ever recall K yelling at were the ones in Cameron Indoor.

I respect your fandom-goggles, but if CJS did this, I'd be very disappointed.

(Also, CJS doesn't have two rings)

This winter is the first time in 7 years I haven't coached club volleyball. In November I thought, with all my extra free time, I'd make an effort to watch more non-Duke college basketball games. I lasted about a week before I couldn't do it anymore. College basketball is borderline unwatchable with the amount of pushing, shoving, grabbing, holding, etc that is allowed. It's even worse when you watch what's happening off the ball. Apparently people get upset when there's "too many whistles" but I don't see how these wrestling matches are entertaining. I miss basketball. *sigh*
