MBB: Duke 72, KU 75 Post-game Thread

Everyone, CHILL. There’s obvious trolling that’s happening, and when it gets a response all other conversation gets derailed. Don’t troll, but also don’t respond by pouring gas on the fire.

You know who you are. Please don’t make the mods go any further.

I don’t disagree with your points but Mike Tomlin has a slightly higher winning percentage in regular season games than did Bill Cowher and they each won one Super Bowl. There has been no dropoff to Tomlin.

lol…he’s one of the most overrated coaches in NFL history.

He had a hall of fame QB almost his entire coaching career Bill Cowher did not.

Once Cowhers guys retired Tomlin has won three total playoff games since 2010 and hasn’t won a single playoff game since 2016.

Any other coach would have been fired ten times by now. He’s the best 9-8 Coach that ever lived 😂

He also has the worst record in NFL history vs teams sub .500…..He’s continually loses to teams that are 2-8 or 1-9 etc….

I’m a Steelers fan and would give him away for a bag of peanuts…..
 
From someone who sits at scorer’s tables for about 50 games per season, at multiple venues. I can assure you every team knows all of their opponents play calls and has a staff member yelling them out within split seconds of when the play is called by the coach, the point guard or when they see the positioning and ball entry. This includes Duke. They key in most cases is figuring out how to guard the different variations and reads the might change based on how you choose to defend screens (ICE, switch, etc) and how you defend dribble hand-offs (now commonly called DHOs). Teams even defend things differently from game to game depending on opponents personnel. Not executing defense properly doesn’t mean they didn’t know what was coming. Duke is very well prepared.

I agree. But having your player going into the key and making a play is prep. Roach did it 5 times last year.

I agree. That's why you don't drive into the key like Roach like last year. .What did they do last year. Self knew it. Screen top of the key. Double of screen down low. It's basketball

Hey scout. I watched a lot of basketball from a guy who won championships at as college in Canada. Actually Triano was an assistant coach with Coach k. So was Ken Sheilds. Got people drafted. Coached the national team. Also watched NBA coaches from close.Yeah I am a troll.

Per Wiki, while Ken Shields was a very accomplished Canadian coach, he never coached on any of K’s staffs. Did you mean he was on some staff as an assistant and K was also an assistant on that same staff ?

So what? Anyone who knows basketball knew that we were going back to the Kon/Cooper two-man game because it had just produced 3 straight scores.

If Jon had run a different set and we missed a shot, every armchair coach in the country would have screamed, "why did he go away from what's working?"

Exactly. Not that it matters what announcers say but they said over and over in the final two minutes that Duke needed to continue to keep going to the two man game. Btw, there are times when everyone in the building knows what’s coming but it doesn’t matter, if the defense can’t stop it. It was working over and over again
