I don't care for Duke because of Jason Williams a number of years ago. And JJ Redick. Maybe it's not them as much as the way Duke played basketball. I can't stand watching teams with the "we're going to shoot 35 three pointers per game; if we make 20, we're going to beat you" style of play. That's why I never cared for Tejas either.
I think part of it has to do with the 3 point line. I think it's done wonders for college basketball. But, in the same vein, I think it's dumbed down coaching.
Krezewsky doesn't look like much of a coach without JJ Redick, or a bunch of Hamburger AA's. Same with Rick Barnes.
But, I guess the same could be said for just about any coach.
