According to the link, Duke has been to 15 final fours since they started playing basketball in 1906. Coach K has taken them to 11 of those. They have 4 national titles, all won by Coach K. They were in the title game six other times but lost, and four of those were Coach K's. In fact, before Coach K, they only have 8 NCAA tournament appearances. While those tourney appearances would be considered successful (a couple of national runner-ups, and the four other FF appearances)...one would hardly look at Duke's bball history and consider them a "blue blood" before Coach K arrived. Coach K made Duke into a blue blood during this modern tourney era (which most consider from 1979-present). So yeah, I actually do know a fair amount about college basketball. Try using some facts before you make an argument, troll. Try to keep up.

Actually, you're a moron. Before Calhoun got to Uconn in 1986 they had won 4 tourney games. Ever. Or one fewer than KU won last year alone.
Florida had been to the tourney 5 times before Donovan. 5 times. |

According to Sagarins all-time ratings, Duke was the 31st best program of the 1950s, #3 of the 1960s, and #14 of the 1970s. They were a very good program before K arrived. http://assets.espn.go.com/photo/2009/1004/cbe1.pdf

Duke had one NCAA tourney appearance in the 1950's. How many did KU and UK have? Duke's record in the 50's was 184-89...a good record...but elite blue blood? How many games did KU and UK win in the 50's. Without looking it up, I would be willing to say the records for both schools would be better..... I am pretty sure KU's is much, much better, since KU won a national title in the 50's, had the Wilt years, and had multiple final four appearances.

We talked about this in the NCAA tourney thread at one point... but a fantastic article from Pat Forde about how Louisville is dominating college sports... and how the Big 12 didn't want them. It's a long article, but some highlights:

Wow, pretty damning against the Big XII.
I remember how the talk was of getting Arkansas, Memphis, and Louisville into the Big XII after Nebraska and Colorado left. Those against it said Memphis and Louisville were "too small" to fit in the Big XII. Who are the idiots now? |
