NOOOOOOOOO!!! I'm not a fan of this. Keep him behind the scenes until February 9th. I know he hasn't been too far away regardless. I see no need in wasting the emotion and excitement on Pitt. I just don't get why everyone involved doesn't see the value in doing it that way. Cameron would be epic if he returned on February 9th.

Personally I would rather he come back Saturday. You don't win games on emotions and I believe the team would benefit more having him here for game with Pitt
I agree from the standpoint that there will be plenty of emotion next week anyway. Less of a distraction as well. If he's ready to come back, come back. If he's not then stay out until he's healthy.

I thought he might come back last game, so it doesn't surprise me if it's Saturday. And today is 27 days from surgery, so that would be on time, if everything has went to plan.

Coach Capel has done a great job, but K is the GOAT, and if he's ready to return, then I'm all for it. If we need K to return against UNC, as an emotional boost, to get up for UNC, then we're in worse shape than I thought.

I just think Pitt taking UNC to the wire is enough to put out guys on notice. UNC is a much better team, and a team that is much more likely to beat us than Pitt. I don't see it being a distraction in any form. It's creates a good vibe for Duke, not a bad one. Why not make the environment even more hostile by bringing him back then? Just my opinion.

How much more hostile can the environment be really? Besides, sometimes in those situations the team that gets more mentally strained is the home one.

If K is well I'd prefer he's back on Saturday, as well.

I don't think anyone is saying it will be a cakewalk, but we are allowed to be confident.

Yo, Iron Dukes, let's kick it!
Ice Ice Matty
Ice Ice Matty

All right stop
Collaborate and listen
K is back with a brand new rotation
Capel, grabs a hold of Luke tightly
He'll play 40 minutes daily and nightly
Will he ever stop?
Yo, I don't know
Turn on the lights and he'll flow
To the extreme he rocks a Heel like a vandal
Light up a court and wax ol' Roy like a scandal

Lance
Bum rush the League like booms
We're killing Zeller like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly, when we drain a wide open three
Most Heels take no tests, yep, that's a felony
Love it or leave it
You better gain way
Vrankovic is a big guy
Grayson don't play
If there was a problem
Amile will solve it
Check out Duke hoops while my Coach K evolves it


Ice ice Matty Matty
Please shoot it, ice ice Matty
Please shoot it, ice ice Matty
Please shoot it, ice ice…


Now that Cameron is jumpin'
With Bolden clued in, the fists are pumpin'
Quick to the point, to the point no faking
Frank's cooking PG's like a pound of bacon
Burning them if they're not quick and nimble
I go crazy when I hear band cymbals
And a hi hat with our pace up tempo
We're on a roll and please Tatum, no solo
We're goin; 5 and 0
With K's blacktop down so his hair can blow
Defenders on standby
Waving just to say hi
Did we stop?
No, we just drove by
Kept on pursuing to the next stop
Luke busts a three and we're heading to the next block
But, Chapel Hill looked dead

Yo so I continued to section 1-7, courtside avenue!

Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis
Iron Duke lovers driving Lamborghinis
Jealous- 'cause the Heels drinkin’ wine
Roy with Will Graves and PJ with a nine
Ready- for the chumps in the Dome
The chumps are acting ill because Luke Maye needs a comb
Jumpshots- ranged out like a bell
Luke fluffs his hair
All he heard was yells
Fallin'- on the hardwood real fast
Jumped in the bus, slammed on the gas
Bumper to bumper, 15-501 is packed
I'm tryin' to get away before Fats gets back
Police on the scene
Heels knows what that means
NCAA passes them up, to confront all the small teams
If there was a problem
The NCAA won’t solve it
Check out UL while Pitino devolves it

Ice ice Matty
Please shoot it, ice ice Matty
Please shoot it, ice ice Matty
Please shoot it, ice ice Matty

Take heed, 'cause we’re basketball poets
Jeter lost his spleen just in case you didn't know it
My team- that created all the fan scream
Enough to shake and ruin all the holes’ dreams
Wainstein’s report’s like a chemical spill
Infeasible facts that you can’t vision or feel
Conducted and formed
This is a hell of a concept
We make it hype and you want to step-
with this, Grayson hits a nice fade,
trip you like a ninja- cut like a razor blade
so fast- Santa Ana says, "damn"
If ball movement was a drug
We'd sell it by the gram
Javin keeps his composure when it's time to get loose
No need to warm up son, just sip on this juice
If there is a problem
K mince-meats it.
Check out Harry’s hook while Devil DJ retweets it

I figured when we didn't see him in one of the last two games it was because of travel and he would return at home...

I'm sure he would also like a game on the bench before the UNC game back with the team...

Un-freakin' believable, Denver! That is total awesomeness! I enjoyed that immensely, and am still laughing as I type this. Thanks for providing an old man with a little fun to break up this tuff day.

I haven't heard anything, but I have a strong feeling that he will be on the bench Saturday, and I really believe his "team" is waiting. They will feel relief to have him back, and will show it in their play. It's about to start coming around!
Oh yeah, and "K" is not one to go in for the rah-rah of a North Carolina game return, he will return because he is up to it, whether it be Saturday or whenever.
Go Duke!!

Exactly. UNC fans are going to bark regardless. That's why they're UNC fans.
They (the usual THR crew) were saying the fix was in for the ND game because of the refs. Guess we were watching different games.

I think we will see Coach K back Saturday. I agree with K-oach, the travel
kept him from coming back last week. Sitting for more than 45 minutes is tough after the type surgery he had. I experienced the same surgery and he's got 20 years on me. He'll be back ASAP no matter who we're playing.

No joke buddy. We were at the old Paradise Island in Disney World and I came across one of his security guys who I hadn't seen in a few years (we were tight in early college). He brought us to the part of the club that Ice rented out and we hung out for a few hours. He's really down-to-earth!
