Coach K factor

After losses to FSU and Northy it seems that either Duke is a little tired or coach K is over coaching. Duke isn't very deep. They lost to FSU because Williams fouled out early. They lost to Northy because Reddick turned iced cold in the second half. If JJ would have hit half of the three pointers that he took, Duke would have won easily. Can't really pin it on the boys at that point, I think the pressure from coach K is a little much. Hopefully playing some weaker teams in the first round will loosen them up a bit.

Re: Coach K factor

I am not sure what is going on at Duke. But you are definitely right about the foul trouble against FSU and Redick going cold against the Heels.

Coach K is a good coach and I am sure he will right the ship for the ACC Tourney.

Re: Coach K factor

I don't think you can blame it on Coach K. Duke, as you say, lacks depth and their best players are getting fatigued. That's how things like stupid fouls and missed shots start creeping into your game, and costing you. He needs to get them rested, relaxed and refocused. I think they'll be fine.

Re: Coach K factor

Lefty, I agree. They did lose back to back games, but things like that do happen. They are Duke, not the Lakers.

I think Coach K will have them ready to go for the ACC Tournament. They will be well rested and ready to play I'm sure.
