Archer in a thread asking if Popovich will put Roy on his Team USA staff. He always uses his witty little LOM, "Leader of Men", when referring to K. Such a clever fella.

"Well, he's certainly deserving of the opportunity. And I doubt you'll ever see another coach monopolize the position the way the LOM has. Just poor form, IMO. It's an honor that should be passed from coach to coach. But the recruiting advantages are obvious and the LOM wanted to milk that advantage for all it was worth. Of course Mike has always been about MIke, first and foremost."
Archer is just a typical sour mouth turd and that LOM thingy is so creative and cool sounding isn't is?

Some of these guys used to be fairly regular over here and were decent and civil posters. slinger, archer and coryfly to name a few. They were especially cordial during the 2009 season for some reason but at the end of the 2010 season things really changed for some reason. They all became somewhat defensive about everything and that's when the hard feelings began. That's when most of us were getting bannded even without posting at thr. Something had to happen during that 2010 season that changed everything. Just can't put my finger on it. Oh well it is what it is. OFC

It may have had something to do with the numbers 82 and 50......not sure though.

On the discussion of how horrible they think Coach K is because he came back to coach Team USA after he was asked to return, @Sk1310 applies some interesting "logic" here:

"Do you have inside info? Do you know K personally? If not, stop talking like you know everything thats going on. To think K doesnt enjoy the recruiting advantage is embarrassing."

Mock someone for not having personal knowledge about Coach K's reason for returning as coach for Team USA before . . . speculating about Coach K's reasoning without any personal knowledge about the decision itself? The irony is just too rich.

This back and forth tells you everything you need to know about the self-righteous idiocy controlling/permeating that board and the quick trigger finger from their petulant/petty mods.

Archer: [Coaching Team USA is] an honor that should be passed from coach to coach. But the recruiting advantages are obvious and the LOM wanted to milk that advantage for all it was worth. Of course Mike has always been about MIke, first and foremost.

Phillfan: You should speak to Colangelo then. K tried to step away and was begged to return.

Archer: They begged Dean to return as well but he declined, stating that he'd had his chance and that honor should be shared with other coaches. Would it have been so hard to say "Thanks, but no thanks?" But then again, he wasn't the egomaniac the LOM is. He knows it gives him a huge recruiting advantage to coach the USA team and he's used it to his great advantage. Denying this is just being unrealistic. If you're a top 10 players whose ultimate goal is to play in the NBA, would you rather play for a coach that has coached Kobe, Lebron, Duncan, Durant, etc... or one who hasn't? Puhleeeeeease.

Phillfan: So you have met Coach K? Know him personally. Were you in on the conversations asking him to stay. And maybe you can provide a link of them begging Dean. I don't recall. I also recall some opposing fans laughing at Duke in the mid 2000's saying how it was hurting Duke with all the time he spent with USA basketball. But you seem to have inside info so I will just believe what you say.

This maybe me only that thinks this but there's a couple of thr guys that posted here that haven't been around in a while. Both to me were always civil and spoke their mind but acted like they were guest. To think of it I'm not sure they even post over at thr or not. They were tilador and txheel. Do any of you remember them. I personally enjoyed having both of them post here. OFC

Looks like their mods deleted that embarrassing/hilarious "farewell" DSouthr posted.


I saw that the other day. It kind of got to me Gas. It was like seeing a cry for help just being ignored by the people who should love you the most. "The Family." I guess dsouthr must be feeling pretty down right now. I can only imagine one of our mods shutting me down in my time of despair. I would like with the blessing of our board to invite dsouthr over here and just let it all out. We are very sensitive to the sensitive and you probably won't even be banned.:rolleyes: OFC

Duke is kicking the cheats *** in every aspect of the game for the last few years.
1-NCAA Championships won, 2 to 1 since 2009
2-Recruiting is not even on the same hemisphere
3-Placing players in the NBA, Duke, not even close
4-Integrity, Duke, not even on the same planet
5-Universal respect of the coaching staff both head coach and assistants, Duke.

Yes, Coach K was referenced to as the Leader Of Men, I believe thats better recognition than Roy Williams who must be the moniker of "Leader of the Cheater U". Coach K is considered the best coach on the planet and the best in the history of the college game. Also the assistant coaches who have gone on to head coaching positions. There's Wojo at Marquette, Chris Collins at Northwestern, Tommy Amaker at Harvard, Johnny Dawkins at Central Florida and was at Stanford for 8 seasons, Bobby Hurley at ASU and Mike Brey at ND.

That is why goofballs like Archer, Steat, . Southr, Keryo, Cheeled and their quick to ban Mods are so sensitive when it comes to Duke. There is no comparison between the two programs.

What a complete asshat. They always act as though they have the inside knowledge of what Dean, everything always "classy" and wonderful, and K, always evil, said intimately.

Do they mean best 5 of all time or just top five Tar Holes? Hey, ya never know.


The way I understand it smoooooth as butter started the thread with lawson, marshall, phelps, felton and cota and ask the family to rank them 1-5 as the best overall pg. Don't know why he didn't list ford. Maybe he doesn't know who phil ford is. Maybe he doesn't feel ford is a great overall pg. I'll tell you what if I were a unc fan and was ask to put together the best unc starting 5 ever ford would be my 1st. pick because he wore our butt out for four years. To make it clear one of their posters posted ford as the top pg. I don't know for sure but smooooth as butter may have been the thr poster tat said kendall marshall would be one of the top 50 NBA players of all time. OFC

Has anyone seen the "Root for America or against Coach K?" thread over on RR? It'saDoneDeal started it and to sum it up he said that he thinks he'd probably be more satisfied to see Team USA fall apart and lose than to win the gold since Coach K is the coach. The best thing about the thread is that pretty much every other person that posted in the thread disagreed with him and said that no matter how much they hate Duke and Coach K they're still pulling for Team USA to win the gold medal, which is more than we can say pretty much all of THR.

Here is the idiot, It'saDoneDeal, that started that thread at RR:

"I'm honestly torn. Gun to my head, I think I'd be more satisfied with watching the team fall apart and Coach K give some pissy, excuse-laden press conference and get torn apart for choking than see the U.S. win another gold medal. I mean, how many do we need anyways? And what does it prove? We know we've got the best basketball players on the planet, the Olympics changes nothing. Maybe we can get lucky and Coach K say something borderline racist about the fans or the refs, that'd be icing on the cake."

THR has total morons over there but RR has some complete lunatics. Some sad *** people over there.

Another one from the same POS:

"So you're telling me you'd be behind a Jared Fogle coached U.S. squad? You'd be all red, white, and blue if we had the ghost of Adam Lanza holding a clipboard and nervously fidgeting on the U.S. bench?

What's better for America? Another *yawn* basketball gold medal, or Coach K being embarrassed, getting criticized in the national media, and maybe hurting Duke's recruiting. Dream big, playa."

If that is the only reason Phillfan got banned, that is pretty bad. I usually give the mods over there the benefit of the doubt, because it is their board, but that is just normal stuff. Phillfan should not have been banned.

Sad excuse for an American IMO. His hypothetical of Fogel and Lanza is just that, not real and would never be real. Coach K, who not only represents the United States in international competition, also represented the US in the Army. I am sure that idiot has done the same for our country, right? Anyone who roots against the US because they do not like a coach is just a moron.

Courtesy of @TPFKAPFS regarding coaching Team USA:

It is a tremendous advantage and I have no problem with any coach taking advantage of it anyway; I simply point out that DES and Roy are also great coaches, but they are also great human beings! Both would have passed the mantle on in the interest of fairness and this is without question.

So much certainty about something he knows absolutely nothing about. Par for the course over at a board where the blind are leading the blind.
