Good takes!! Just wondering why Duke wasn’t using the “we are so young excuse” like Cal.

Coach K doesn’t make many excuses for his program, firm believer in his philosophy and his teams have always played super hard regardless of class status. Cal is exactly opposite in that it’s always an excuse why his teams doesn’t perform to their capabilities and that’s why coach K is the greatest coach in college basketball history. IMO

IMO Yet that is not true at all. Coach K has used the they are young excuse before. Shoot literally just yesterday he used the excuse of being young for why they lost the two games they did. Here are some exact quotes from yesterday: We’re such a young team, so you play against Michigan State and Illinois – they can take a little bit of your confidence away. They’re two of the top teams in the country and I don’t think we were ready to prepare to the level for those games as we did for this game.... They’ve been good in practice. You can practice offense and defense, but until you face high-level competition, you don’t know just how hard and how sharp you’re going to have to be. It’s called experience, and that’s why you see the veteran teams doing so much better than the younger teams, unless a younger team has exceptional talent. Sometimes our teams get away with that, but our team has good talent – not exceptional – and so we just need to keep learning through the experience of playing these good teams https://www.google.com/amp/s/247sports.com/college/duke/LongFormArticle/duke-blue-devils-coach-k-quotes-duke-notre-dame-away-win-157148837/Amp/

I think it’s pretty clear that Duke wasn’t adhering to COVID guidelines. I’m hearing they don’t even have a bottle of hand sanitizer on campus down there. Meanwhile, Cal and the Isopropyl Cats have used no fewer than 8 55-gallon drums of Purell. Working on that 9th as we speak.
