    K hasn't lost a step, but the college landscape has changed three times since the mid 80's. First change was no more 4 year players like Hurley, Laettner, and Grant. Second change was players leaving for the pros right out of high school or after one year like Shaun Livingston, Elton Brand, and Corey Magette, then the third change was taking on the impossible mission of Olympic basketball coach. Trust me, while K is trying to teach millionaires how to share the ball other coaches are out recruiting high schoolers to beat him. Now Coach K doesn't get the best one and dones and the players that stay four years are average and he has not had good a good post player since Elton Brand, so outshooting everybody in 3 pointers only last as long as the ball is going in the basket.

    They cannot recruit dumb killers like other schools which hurts them also

    Duke has an incredible class coming in. He's got some big heavies to do the dirty work instead of those soft white boys. They will probably be preseason #1 depending on what Kentucky has coming back.

    Feel like he needs a PG, only one he had worth a damn recently that I remember was Irving who was hurt half the year anyway then bounced.

    Kentucky could actually be dangerous if...

    they played like they gave a damn. Plenty of talent, but too much lazy standing around and watching each other. If they decide to play, they can make a run.

    I wasnt talking about the NBA, College is what we were talking about.

    Wasnt it The Fab Five that said in there Documentary they thought Christian Laetner was soft until they actually played him,and realized he could ball.

    i do respect him and think he is the best coach i will probably see in my life but that doesnt mean you can coach every sport. lets be honest NBA and NCAAB are two very different sports. its also why i think Pete Carroll went back to the NFL. At least he relized it before things got bad.

    We were talking about soft as marshmellow's Duke players. If it wasn't for the bullshit whistles every time you blew on their nuts, those white boys wouldn't have won shit.

    lol what? the USA Olympic team could have no coach and would win easily. Ever since they lost gold now all the top players are playing every four years. Any college coach or nba coach could lead Lebron Bryant Mello Durant Wade and others to a gold medal. Hell you can just have Durant and Wade and still win the gold easily.

    BTW there's no way coach k is a better coach than popovich. Coach k is a motivator. That's why these college coaches can't do anything in the nba like patino and that guy from kentucky. Guys like Izzo would be nothing in the nba. NBA is about X's and O's way more than anything else.

    If Pop coached USA basketball no team would come within 30 of USA, even in the gold medal game.
