Hurley is so far away the best coach in the country right now. On and off the court.

Something in the back of my brain doesn't even associate this program with the Calhoun teams of yesteryear, it's like a completely different thing. Maybe that's why it doesn't bother me so much
He's completely psychotic. He was nearly getting T'd up like three minutes into their game vs. Alabama. He might be the whiniest coach out there right now. And in his press conferences, he's incredibly smug. Gives me major "Steve Kerr at the peak of Warriors dynasty" vibes. He's backed it up with his team being miles better than the competition, but he was talking that way before they'd won shit.
This is the most impressive two year run in the tournament since Wooden. Though CBB was obviously much tougher in the early 90s when K went back to back
Fucking fifth year bullshit forever because of a few games missed five fucking years ago.
There was no program in the country that tried to win in Duke’s way these past few seasons. It was an interesting experiment but Duke really needs to take all their collective intelligence and come up with more optimal strategies.
Like picking the most athletic 5th grade dodgeball prodigy over random decent 8th graders.
Duke is never going to be a transfer mercenary program with a multi-million NIL budget. Admissions just isn’t going to go down that road. Anyone hoping for that is kidding themselves, we have no choice but to keep trying to win it being led by the can’t miss NBA star caliber freshman
We very easily could’ve won it all in 2019 and/or 2022, even with a well past his prime K, had things broken a little differently. We either keep loading up on studs, or hope for one Final Four every decade or so, and maybe a title every 20. The guys on the 2010 team wouldn’t be 3-4 year players anymoreDurhamSon said:
