Just watched Jay Williams on Mike and Mike and he expressed some issues him and K had over the years. One of the things he said right away was that K told him not to leave after his sophomore year, even though he was going to be the #1 pick in the draft.

Couldn't imagine Roy ever doing that. Jay Williams went on to say that K's had to adapt to kids these days basically giving him no choice and that they are going to leave no matter what in this one and done culture.
 
Why am I not surprised. I re-watched the Dean Smith documentary last night (on Showtime, I think). They talked about how Dean always encouraged his players to go pro if they were going to be in the top 5 picks. They focused on Michael Jordan leaving after his Junior year. They also focused on how Coach Smith nudged his players to come back and finish their degree at UNC. 97% graduation rate! I'm sure some will say they did it with "no show" classes and cheated to get their degree. However, I choose to think that Dean did things to benefit the player and coach k did things to benefit coach k!
 
As more time goes by, more and more folks are recognizing what many, including me, have long known about Coach F Bomber...he is a self centered egomaniacal jerk who has constructed a phony veneer of being this great altruistic guy. He is a win at all costs individual. someone who has GLADLY adopted the One and done mentality of Kentucky.

His cover up of the Lance Thomas $70k jewelry scam, which would have cost the UNJ DERM folks a Natty title, is just one of many many examples of his win at all cost mentality. He routinely churns out a host of dirty players from Laettner to Dirty Jones to Henderthug to Winslow and on and on. His program is among the most reviled in all of sports because of his incessant baiting and intimidation of referees and the endless calls that UNJ DERM has gotten over 30 plus years. His cowardly"scheduling" and refusal to actually play tough non conference games at the HOME of the opponents is legendary and a disgrace.

His latest embarrassing stint after the Syracuse game... prowling and sulking in front of the scorers table, after a "tough call that he termed "AMAZING" in his whining press conference, displays his real persona once again


He is a phony and a fraud..... hope we kick the ever lovin ish out of them every time we play them
 
What is up with the commercial that is out with him being a Godfather figure.
A kid calls him "poppi"? What the heck?

A thinly-disguised attempt at image control.

I guarantee some of the "no show classes" are harder than some of these on-line degrees. I think you can get an MBA in like 48 hours now.

Remember when Knight Lite told William Avery he was "effing up his program" when he left early? Nothing that self-aggrandizing bastage did would surprise me.
 
Jay Williams still has Duke loyalty and wants them to do well but he has seemed refreshingly objective this year. Calls out their deficiencies like no PG and even points out what k should do better / differently. Doesn't make injury or other excuses for them.

In all these respects he's better than most other on air dookies and much better than the mindless other DSPN hacks who endlessly slurp everything about k and Duke regardless of real results in an off year.

I thought it was all about the "kids" with K? The Dark Lord rules with an iron fist and dissenters are dealt with harshly.

No one has mentioned this tidbit in the DI thread about this interview. Shocking, I know.

And it was just a few days ago their resident Carolina obsessed loon accused Roy of lying to his players about their draft status, encouraging them to stay when they should declare for the draft....
 
You will not get an excuse from any Dookies because there is no defense. Jay Williams was a star player for Duke. This was a direct comment from a star player that blows away their theory that K never has discouraged a player to stay in school. Jay was projected as the the #1 pick in the draft and K told him to come back.

Folks, you don't know what Jay has done for us. I don't think you will hear too many Duke fans claiming that Roy holds players back in the future. This brings me to Mike Tyson's famous quote ..."Everyone has a plan until they get hit in the face". Duke fans got hit squarely in the face with Williams admission. Don't think they want to discuss the topic too much in the future. LMFAO

Agree Steat. I'd love to see a computer type genius get the video of this quote and post it to the twitter/social media account of every Dook recruit. Truth hurts but they need to know it.
