You've obviously put a lot more thought/research into it then I have, and you could certainly turn out to be right and Coach K/Duke are the rare exception. But I've been taught if it doesn't look right, it probably isn't. None of the other coaches you mention have accomplished a fraction of the recruiting success. Just look at the Duke commits for next year. They are rolling.TheSouseFamily said:
One other thing to add PTownbear: I don't mean to make such a stand for Duke and Coach K where I naturally have a bias. Even though a lot of coaches do questionable things, I think there are still a handful of coaches that deserve respect and operate with character, putting right/wrong over Ws/Ls. We were fortunate to have one with Monty. But there plenty others: Beilein at Michigan, Krystowiak at Utah, Bennett at Virgina all seem to be cut from that same cloth and I'm sure there are plenty others.
Personally, I just don't see how all these future basketball super stars would have the desire/time to be prepared for and keep up with a year's curriculum at Duke without significant concessions and/or inordinate support. A few of them, like our own Jaylen Brown may be brilliant curious minds, but no way 20+ athletes fit that description. Only time will tell though...
