Yes most definitely, he's very competitive, military, and extremely stubborn, the latter an opinion formed from watching him coach over 30 years. My opinion is he has used his style of play for so long, and to do something different would be to admit his way isn't working. The same said for Boeheim. Seems like they will lose with their brand of play than attempt to win by a method they feel inferior to their way. That's just my view though
K has made drastic changes from year to year in numerous occasions though. He may be stubborn with the style of play within the season, but not with his style of play from year to year.

I'm not so sure about that. Yes he has adapted to the OAD but not at first. In my opinion, when Deng left after his freshman season (04) and Livingston backed out before his freshman season (04-05), K didn't like what was happening, plus some recruits weren't as good maybe as advertised, and recruiting suffered for a few years. Then I think he didn't handle the OAD as well until Okafor and the other freshmen came. His approach before them, I believe, led to chemistry problems, most notably 11, 12 and 14. Some will argue that in 11, we ran into a buzz saw against Arizona, and I know Kyrie was a stud, but I think him coming back messed the team chemistry up

You guys are incredible. That's your response? Is it pointless because you say it is? Because you two say it, no one else can have an opinion that disagrees with yours. Ok for tim0 to say something works in small stretches but not someone else to suggest something huh?

Lighten up, Francis. No one said you can't disagree....you're the one acting like the child because we're not fawning over your point.

Thanks Hart, with some of the kickback I'm getting over suggesting the team do something occasionally to mix it up , you'd think I shot their dog. One of our mods brought up a good point, yet another mod come running over crying foul at me for voicing my view, which IS based on actual events. And we all pull for same team too, how about that?

You're very dramatic. Calm down and breathe.

No, it's just I was making a point, but you being the All American Hall Monitor that you are, come flying in to assist the other mod, and give your point. I could care less if you agree with what I say, it's just that your comebacks are comical, and you say someone else is acting like a child. I wasn't even talking to you yesterday about the zone, yet you chime in. I've met lots of guys like you, you think your opinion is better than others, and if it makes you feel any better, go ahead big fella.

And I countered your point. You can't handle that....as you just proved in this post.

What was your point? Look people have discussions back and forth, and if it's a general topic, I may get involved in the talk. I was talking with the other mod, agreed with him but added my opinion. Honestly didn't think you should have gave the reply you did, when it was a discussion between tim0 and myself. We agree to disagree. Move on to things more important because I believe what I do, and same for you.

Pegged it. All American.

....and in my years here, Dukiejay's opinions are pretty spot-on.

Just think how on edge this board is and we're made of 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 year old men (and a few gals)...probably some older that that. Now compare that to a group of teenagers, and 20 year olds who've went through the hell this particularly Duke team has been through. They've held up pretty damn well, all things considered, and I'm proud of them. But us, we don't stack up nearly as well, and if our players handled the pressure as well as us guys, they wouldn't have won a single game.

Passionate sports fans usually are opinionated. I know I am, and nothing wrong overall as long as people don't get upset over a disagreement as long as it's civil. I really enjoy the site OAD. I'm not mad at Duke losing to the Holes, even though you screwed up with the $$ drop. No I'm ok, but what the HE**!!! happened pal, why??? How could you let that happen!? Come on, get your act together!!!

Don't blame OAD, I think the Russians were involved.

Keep being yourself Mac. We are "passionate" Blue Devil fans, and dont hold back because others disagree. I mean thats the very nature of these boards for all of us to give our views as fans.

Don't blame OAD entirely on that $$$ drop, I was a few bucks short I think for the 3rd official.LOL...

Mac, Duke90, and Hart, I don't think I've got what it takes anymore! We need some young blood to do these deliveries. Hell, if the arthritis in my right hand gets much worse I'm going to have to give up photoshopping.

Well Sky, you Hart and OAD have failed us miserably. I've contacted the Law firm 'Dewey, Cheatem and How' about the rest of the members of DI getting reimbursed. You guys have really disappointed us sir


Truth be know I think the guys over at thr have a lot more money than we do. All you have to do is read their post and see how intelligent they are. They all must have Dr. and masters degrees and make a lot of money. We just can't compete with that. OFC
