00:00I think we all agree we're blaming the head coach at Duke for failing again to use this timeout
00:04or tell the kids the exact situation so Duke's gonna have to suck that up by the way I have
00:09no
00:09problem if Duke fired him today no problem whatsoever considering all the talent that
00:14has come through there not just in the last 10 years Tyrone in the last five years like you are
00:20talking about legitimate NBA superstars that have played at Duke if I really go back you know a full
00:27decade not just five or six years like Jason Tatum Zion Williamson Cooper Flagg Paulo Banchero
00:34Cam Boozer RJ Barrett Cam Reddish uh Con Knipple the likely uh rookie of the year this year
00:41Jared McClain you of course you haven't been Philadelphia heard a lot but you know he's
00:45excelling in Oklahoma City right now and on and on and on you you could make an NBA all-star
00:51team
00:52out of that list right there and they have zero final four appearances or championships since any
00:58one of those guys uh played for Duke zero zero so yeah I want to ask you I know you
01:05said you'd be
01:06fine if they fired him now I don't think they're going to do it but what does he have to
01:09do but what
01:11does he have to do next year if he doesn't get to the final four next year are they looking
01:14for a
01:15different coach seriously uh I think there comes a point where you like if I compare Duke basketball
01:22to Yankee baseball where there's an expectation every single year because they recruit better than
01:28just about everybody every single year and that list obviously you know backs that up that we are
01:33going to be in the final four every single year much like Yankee fans feel like we need to be
01:38in the
01:38World Series every single year right the reality is that they make it to the tournament every year
01:43not every team does all right uh the Yankees make it into the postseason every single year
01:49not every team does so if I want to be fair to Duke and I don't want to be fair
01:54to Duke because I
01:55can't hello because I I'm sorry because I can't stand uh you'll appreciate it when you come in
02:00to everyone on Wednesday um there's a new new employees here uh oh my I do not want to be
02:07fair to
02:08Duke because screwed Duke right because they've had all the success and like even in their game against
02:13St. John's you know after that game in the Sweet 16 a game that they won you know the reality
02:18is that
02:18Duke's been the benefactor of more calls and fouls than any team by far like they're shooting like
02:2520 more free throws per game than everybody else they've played against which is just it's not fair
02:30uh when you're talking about games that get decided by a couple possessions and you're taking 20 30 40
02:35free throws every single game that being said I think there's also unfair expectations of Duke
02:42Blue Devil fails much like there's unfair expectations of New York Yankee fans right of Notre Dame football
02:47back in the day where you are the hated team because you're always in it and then if you don't
02:52come home
02:52with the hardware and the championship your fan base is pissed off but there's 90 of the other schools
02:58out there that would sign up for a guaranteed Sweet 16 appearance and not making it to the Final Four
03:05because you're in it every year like the majority of baseball franchises would sign up for what the
03:11Yankees have given their fans which is no World Series wins in the last 17 years but they're in it
03:17every
03:17year with a chance to win the World Series so if I want to be fair to Duke and I
03:21don't uh you're right
03:23he's not going to get fired but there will come a point where the Sweet 16 is just not good
03:29enough
03:30because even though I know both Boozer boys are not guaranteed first round picks um the um
03:38Cameron Boozer may be the overall number one pick uh in the in the draft meaning back-to-back years
03:45with the number one pick in the NBA draft Cooper flagged last year and maybe Cameron Boozer this year
03:50maybe his brother stays in college for another year and runs a point for Duke which would be
03:55I think a smart idea for him yeah but there's going to come a time where if you're not getting
04:00to Final Fours you got to go especially when you compare it to what Danny Hurley's done he's had a
04:08handful of guys that have made it into the NBA sure he's now in his third Final Four in the
04:14last four
04:15years and he doesn't have the number one pick in the NBA draft on his roster right now I thought
04:21Reed played a hell of a game yesterday I was a dominant big man for them and everything went
04:26through him rightfully so but nobody's talking about Reed is the number one pick he'll be drafted
04:31but he ain't going number one right yeah so yeah that's fair yeah so I do think you know look
04:38North
04:38Carolina is going to hire a big time coach a lot of people think he's going to hire the kid
04:43the guy
04:43Floyd out of Arizona I saw our guy Doug Gottlieb said he's been hearing rumors about that a lot of
04:50people think your boy from Chicago Billy Donovan might actually go back to college because he was
04:57so successful in Florida and he's on a short list for North Carolina but yeah I think a couple more
05:03seasons of Duke getting the best recruits and having guys go to the NBA and not making it to a
05:10Final
05:10Final Four yeah I think there comes a point where you know his job is not secure I don't think
05:16it's
05:16right now but I think if I'm a Duke booster or the athletic department he and I have to have
05:22a pretty
05:22tough conversation about why didn't you call time out
05:25you
