It'll be interesting to see how this team improves now since a few here thought the problem was K.
Not THE problem, PART of the problem. I didn't have any knowledge of the pain K was in, but it makes sense that maybe he could have been a bit off the last month or two? I don't know for sure, but you don't go from coaching at 100% to then taking 4 weeks off. I'm guessing he wasn't giving or couldn't give 100%.It'll be interesting to see how this team improves now since a few here thought the problem was K.
The main thing is hope Coach K recovers. Basketball second
you sure they were back surgeries OAD? lol j/k
I've luckily never had a major back injury.
The best to Coach K. The loons will run with this over at THR.
Sadly some in the media are running with it too OAD....I am a Braves fan, but stale jokes are low class-

Since you have had back surgery is four weeks a realistic time for recovery?I've had 3 major back surgeries, and it's not fun, so it sucks for Coach K. But I'm still very optimistic for our season. Coach K will be coaching the next game (I think), and I expect a big win.
And after this game Coach Capel takes over. He's qualified, been a successful head coach, and obviously knows the Duke system in and out. Has great assistants to help him also. I really don't expect any problems. And Coach K will return.
Our guys getting playing time together, becoming cohesive, and Grayson returning (and playing under control) will determine our season's outcome.
I still see plenty of hope for Duke having an excellent finish.

Get Healthy Sir, you're needed. First and foremost by your immediate family (grand kids etc) and obviously your Duke family and friends. Jeff, it's showtime. You've been here before. Let's do it.
I had back surgery when I was in my early teens and it took me about 2 months to fully recover but that was a pretty extensive surgery and technically was 2 surgeries spread out about a week and a half apart. I also had a surgery planned back in 2011 but it didn't happen but if it had happened that surgery would've been less extensive and would've probably had a shorter recovery time but as Dirt said, everyone and every situation is different and take different lengths of time to recover.Since you have had back surgery is four weeks a realistic time for recovery?
Just F the heels and anyone else with smart arse comments.Gotta love the wonderful Tar Heel fans over at THR...im so glad I'm not them
4 weeks seems optimistic when it comes to back surgery. Is this a pretty minor deal? As I understand it, back surgery is usually a last resort.
The fans over at RR are just as "wonderful"Gotta love the wonderful Tar Heel fans over at THR...im so glad I'm not them
Coach K is a warrior. He will be missed while he recovers. I hope Amile and Matt lead by example and play all out in January. You want to play, Bolden? Time to show some conviction for the first time in your life. Go back and look at Bolden highlights. He's been missing the emotion his whole life it seems. Only four guys are playing with heart: Amile, Matt, Luke and Jayson. Grayson has playing with anger. Hopefully he can channel that to become more productive. We need everyone else to show up. Frank is ready to make the leap. Is anyone else feeling frisky? Hopefully Capel can get these guys lit. Maybe Bobby Knight will come to practice and throw some chairs.
I missed the VT game, interesting that Amile was dragging. He played with fire against Elon. Bolden's face and body language makes him look like he doesn't care at all about what he's doing. Even his highlight reels show a bunch of unenthusiastic dunks and straight faces. Tim Duncan was pretty mild on the court but he at least looked determined and would get energized when it mattered. Sometimes Bolden gets fouled and looks "a little miffed." That's literally all I could find on Youtube as far as emotion. Compare this to Jayson's style, which is usually pretty understated too. Jayson shows he cares by being engaged and he comes out his shell a few times per game. We want you to succeed Marques. It's time to take ownership of your life. How you carry yourself matters, especially in a public position like a big time basketball player. Just ask Grayson if it matters.Amile needs to step up, was really disappointed when he did not run back on defense a few times @ VT. Agree with Bolden, zero fire and clearly in over his head with game speed.
A title would be a great painkiller. I'm already addicted to titles." THE SEASON OF PAIN "
Losses don't count on K's record.
