Bo Ryan ... Please

[youngman42]

"Classy and Gracious?" Not even, Greg Gumbel.

Really sad that he whined about the officiating.

Bad form.

 

[denniden]

He is not much a gracious loser. At least from what I have seen over the years.

 

[germantondevil]

Just lost my respect for his whining comments. He certainly had no problems with the officiating at half time did he. Thought more of him than that. Wow.

 

[SWEc/o95]

Bet he didn't have a problem with the officiating after the UK game. Suck it up Bo!

 

[jthegreat]

It's the worst time to ask a coach about the game like that. He shouldn't have said those things, but of all times to cut him some slack, it's then.

 

[smashmouth5]

Now in his presser saying, he doesn't go the rent-a-player route.

 

[BluePhil]

Cryin' Ryan

Our players were too rough for his little divas.


Welsome to the real championship Bo.

Wow Bo, come on, were you satisfied with the first half and some of the calls against Duke? Should have gotten to the line more, well, your guards should have gone to the hole.
Go Duke!!

[K-oach Q]

The officials were woeful IMO.

I lost as much respect for him as I did Izzo the other night....was he complaining when they only got two foul calls in the first half? I don't think so....

You suck it up....you don't say those things. Think them but dont say them.

 

[HuffyJB]

It is tough to have to pull your leading scorer in and out of the game because of foul trouble. Also, having to weather foul trouble to the player that has been your hottest in the tournament. But that wasn't you, that was your competition. Quit whining, your team deserves better than that.

 

[Willcampbell]

I was disappointed in his comments, too. No mention of Duke's play. Classy and gracious...I think not. But I'll excuse him, at least this one time.
OFC

 

[ZLonghorn99]

They're calling Bo out pretty hard on ESPN for his comments.

 

[stanleyduke]

He doesn't rent a player, but he also doesn't graduate a player. 40 percent grad rate and zero percent for black players according to boston globe.

 

[Neners]

Did he miss the part where his team was called for 2 fouls in one half? TWO! Or where two of our most important players were saddled with foul trouble pretty much from tip? Do me a favor!

Classless to me from here on out.

I didnt hear his comment, but it is funny, that Wisconsin has one of the worst graduation rates as any team in the tournament. So if his comments had anything to do with the "student-athlete" type thing, then he needs to clean up his own house before talking about rent a players and what not.

Anyway, congrats guys, I am a UK fan and was really hoping to see a Duke-UK final, but didnt work out that way.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Pathetic. What a b!tch!ng little ho'Bo. If you can't give respect, then you're not going to get it.

OFC

 

[Devilicious]

Yeah...I don't think he should get a pass for those comments. Regardless of the outcome, you still should show some class.

 

[jalnole]

Wisconsin has no one to blame but themselves. Way too much outside shooting and kicked out way too much instead of driving to the basket. That said Duke's tremendous defense yet again showed up. Winslow and Okafhor in foul trouble most of the night and yet the defense never wavered. Wisconsin passed up too many chances to drive the lane. Duke drive to the basket. They made the refs make the calls, nothing wrong with that.

The most deserving team won the title this year, nothing wrong with that!!

 

[DukeOrDie]

Here's the deal: Coach K made adjustments at halftime based on the way the game was being called. He said that he would at his halftime interview if you remember. The fact that Bo was a sourpuss afterwards just highlights the fact that K > Bo and it's not close. But we already knew that

 

[Devilicious]

Was Duke not supposed to recruit Okafor or Winslow or Jones? K has won titles with 4 year players, 3 year players, and now freshman.

 

[calibluedevil]

What a flat out punk. After K calls him a great coach while receiving the trophy. To use the rent a player comment, what a slap in the face. I'm sure he would've turned away all of our potential one and done freshman...lmao. Classless punk.

 

[ndhell]

Wisconsin lost twice to Duke, and ND beat Duke TWICE. Bo is a big cry baby. No Class.

 

[calibluedevil]

To bad the LUCK of the Irish ran out or we could've beat them in a game they've never been in (National Championship).

 

[ndhell]

So ND is basically the CO Champs.

 

[gottagonow]

Isn't it amazing how those who didn't get our freshmen class to their school dislike the whole idea of a one year great player that wins us a National Championship. Yes Kentucky we understand now.

 

[kailman]

He doesn't go that route cause they don't want to go there. Simple.

The problem is that Bo didn't say those things or had issue with it when they beat UK. Now all of a sudden he has an issue? Sour grapes.

 

[kwyjibos13]

So, Irish still butthurt over 1978?

 

[youngman42]

So if he recruits a player who is great and decides to leave early to go pro, he won't let them? He locks them in Wisconsin?

Or, if a great player wants to go to Wisconsin, he says, "No son, we don't want you?"

Sorry, just not buying that.

And, if those freshmen (Four of them, remember) wanted to stay the whole four years, K would love it.

Btw, Kyle Singler was the #4 rated prospect when he came out. Would Bo have not wanted him because he was a top 10 player?

Oh, btw, Singler stayed all four years - 08-11.

 

[barkingpumpkin]

I enjoy every minute of the whining from the butthurt.

 

[gottagonow]

No one on the Duke Staff knew that T Jones and Winslow would have a year like they did and be probable one and dones. Big Oka4 was a one year all along but not the other two. Screw Bo Ho.

 

[vcugreg]

Just food for thought concerning Bo...

He recruited Diamond Stone... Also Looney from UCLA... And how was Russell Wilson for your football team for the one year you guys "rented" him?

I had no idea he was this way. I tend to give kids a pass right after a game but not coaches. If K had said that stuff, lord we'd never hear the end of it...

Btw, how many fouls did Frank have compared to Jah? Yeah...

Old salty POS. Since you don't do "rent a player" how the hell can you only graduate that piss poor percentage of your players?

Well you beat us by 4 points the first time. Then the 3rd time you beat us by 10. So 10 + 4 = 14.

BUT we beat you by THIRTY the second time. And 30 > 14.

Oh and by the way,
WE'RE THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!!!!!![/B]

 

[crazyduke3]

Must suck not being a champion, and instead being a loser. We wouldn't know but he sure would!

 

[Buzzooka Joe]

Instead of blaming the refs.. Why not blame yourself for allowing a NON-ONE-&-DONE FRESHMAN that gets the least amount of minutes per game of any scholarship player on the court, score 16 points on your team in 21 minutes..

If Grayson gets his average.. Duke loses.

[bleediteveryday30]

Bo Ryan really disappointed me tonight. I really don't know what to say about it yet. I know that he was hurting, and I can forgive the initial comments. The presser...that is hard to forgive.

 

[dbav]

Don't blame the refs. Blame Grayson Allen.
