I'm not at all shocked. In fact, I expected it. You should probably be expecting me to say that I don't give a sh*t what you're skeptical about. You can look and find those links or not. It won't mean a thing to me either way.
Your not knowing anything doesn't stop you from speculating on Roy's coaching decisions. Why stop now?
Barnes was selected because many of the top players and really good players chose not to play this time around.
Look, you can believe Barnes is clutch. But absent evidence indicating he is in fact clutch, it's just your opinion. Why should I track down your "evidence" when you're the one making an assertion that is quite the stretch?
Maybe it happened this. I'm just speculating of course but perhaps during the hand shake walk thru after the second game between Duke and unc in barnes soph. year Coach K. said to him this. " Look falcon I'll tell you what I will do. If you will declare this year for the draft I guarantee you that you will be on the Olympic team in 2016. I can't have you abusing us anymore." The black falcon nodded in the affirmative but in the back of his mind he thought " I got him again. I'm going into the draft anyway. " Seriously alabamaheel and the rest of thr. Coach K is not obligated to harrison barnes or anyone else to being selected to the Olympic team. Just like huffy stated look out how many NBA players turned it down before barnes got the nod. OFC
Wonderful deflection. You chastise posters over here for criticizing Roy because they aren't coaches. Then you claim to know why Barnes was chosen for Team USA without any actual proof to justify your belief. You subsequently get called out for stating an unsupported opinion before telling me to speculate about Coach K's decision. I guess your "logic" only applies when it supports your opinion. Very telling.
Not nearly long enough for your stench to vanish.
@RP12 on why Barnes didn't play last night:
K doesn't exactly have a great track record of using and developing his bench, so...
I love when they rationalize things. Too bad the all-time winningest coach with 5 national titles and 2 gold medals doesn't know how to use/develop his bench.

Slinger you have listened to Gary slobbering over every Tar Heel player way too long. You know as well as any level headed half way intelligent basketball fan that there are a hundred players in the NBA with as much or more talent than Barnes. Was coach K trying to appease the Tar Heel faithful by choosing him? Possibly it was out of respect for Roy. At UNC I remember him scoring 40 points once but his career was not one of archived expectations and hype. I think you are correct about his character though as he is as wholesome as Wonder bread.
You are describing the atypical uncheat poster. Hypocrites of the highest and utmost regard for each other.
Haha, I didn't know his job as Olympic Coach was to develop NBA players. Isn't having a well developed game kind of a requisite for being on the team?
I just don't understand who they think Barnes deserves minutes ahead of, especially in a close game like last night. Which all-star (and every single one of them is an all-star besides Barnes) do they want him to replace?
See my previous thread re Carolina Myth.Dion Beatha was Brice
Mark if K hadn't selfishly held Matshall back he would have challenged JJ as a three point specialist .Shoot he may have even gotten. Guaranteed NBA contract
Do you realize your post history is easily searchable? Might want to consider that before making statements like this.
I ask this same question every single season when Duke fans ask why certain guys are not getting minutes. Who would you suggest they play ahead of...
I imagine we'll get plenty of those questions this year. I guess that's a great problem to have, ha.
In his dreams...maybe. Christian Laettner was one of the greatest college players of all time, and had a superb career going in the NBA until he tore an Achilles tendon. Even after the injury he still managed to have some pretty good years.
OFC
Can't teach stupid.
Yeah, I don't understand that one at all. I mean, on the collegiate level it's not even a question about who was better.
As for the NBA, it's probably too early to make a determination. Barnes is going to see his numbers make a big leap this season and I wouldn't be surprised if he finds himself on an All-Star roster or two before his career comes to a close. But as you said about Laettner, it's not as if he was some monumental bust. The only reason people think that is because he was so ridiculously good in college and they expected more. Nonetheless, a 13 & 7 average over the course of a 13-year career is hardly anything to sneeze at.
@Ned Cota laying more "knowledge" on all of us about Barnes and how Coach K is ruining Team USA:
It kinda does have a little to do with K being a rat, if in his newest iteRATion it means catering to ISO NBA style (the opposite of intl and GS style team ball). Barnes was added because he plays a good team game and fit in behind superstars like Curry, Thompson, and Green. Why not use him similarly on another star studded USA team? Because he doesn't want to piss of any super duper stars and hurt his brand with OADs. Farfetched? Maybe. But a better coach would play HB. K won't because he's a rat.
And they wonder why we think they're all idiots...

This is a hall of famer
Wait....there is one better?
Guys, don't worry, the thread by @alabamaheel has nothing to do with the fact that Barnes went to UNC:
Fellas I was actually referring to a single player not getting in a Olympic game. Just so happens to be HB. Sorry to open up a can. My point on posting this was to fault K for not playing a player. In all honesty I would have said the same thing if it would have been Bazemore or Harris or anyone. Just seems a bit odd.
The same guy who said "Top of my head comin off" in his initial rant about Barnes not playing on Wednesday expects us to believe his head would still be coming off if it was Bazemore or Harris instead. Talk about some dubious backtracking. I wonder if the top of his head comes off every time Roy doesn't play every player in every single game? Also, someone should explain to him that the Olympics isn't little league.

This doesn't really have anything to do with college basketball, but it still cracked me up:
@Hark_The_Sound_2010: I'm a fan of pretty much everything at Bojangles except for the chicken.

I mean, as great as I think the dirty rice is, why the hell does someone go to Bojangles if he/she doesn't like their chicken?
That post from Ned Cota......Ho Lee S**t. What a reach, dude needs some help.
