Blocked shots and poor passing too. I've never seen the number of blocked shots suffered by our bigs or the number of times we turned the ball over due to extremely poor passing. This is Frank's 6th season. You'd think he'd either have a more fully developed offense by now, or like in football he would have brought in an offensive-minded assistant coach to help out.

No, you responded to post #27. My original post was #1. I had already addressed your point in post #6. Apparently you're no better at math than reading. Perhaps your strong suit is History?
I replied to post #1. If you decided after you posted it that it was idiotic, there is a wrench icon under it that you could have used to edit it.
Well, I guess we can rule out History as well if you cannot even tell what post you replied to.
You can't really compare our situation to Duke's. Coach K took over in 1980 and Duke had just played for a National Title in 1978 and were in the tournament again in 79. Coach K took over a team that was a tourney team. Ironically, the coach that was his predecessor at Duke is the guy we hired. We created the vacancy that got Coach K hired. Maybe we are the team that should have hired the up and comer instead of going after the older coach at Duke who had a heart condition. Does anyone really believe he could have duplicated his success at Carolina that he had at Duke? I honestly don't think so. Duke is a basketball school who was already on the map of the college basketball world, playing in the ACC. We were a team middling along as an independent/Metro conference. As beneficial as joining the SEC has been for football, leaving the ACC in basketball was equally detrimental.
Reason why I put that up, is usually people bring up Beamer at VT and Coach K when things don't seem to be progressing at a given college situation. It didn't take him as long at Duke as it took Beamer at VT, but Duke did have a snakebit rep for a bit in the beginng of his tenure. Missed out on a number of big time recruits several times (Chris Mullin and I think another guy that went to St. Johns too). And dropped some big games that guys like Bobby K. found a way to win at similar points in their career.
Just saying it wasn't some overnight thing at Duke compared to... well a guy like Marshall at Wichita State for example. Different situation and conference, but they started playing at a high level pretty quickly and usually make the tourney.

What?!? Coach K made it to the NCAAs in his 4th year at Duke (and has been going ever since). Coach K took over a program that had been to 3 straight NCAA appearances.
It took Marshall until his 5th year at Wichita State to make the NCAA tournament (and like Coach K has been going ever since) and he took over a program that had a losing record in the MVC the year before.
If you are too dumb to put numbers in chronological order and read and comprehend the posts therein, there just isn't anything I (or anyone else) can do for you. Spoon feeding it to you once could be attributable to an oversight on your part. Twice, however, indicates you have an intellectual problem.
If you make an inaccurate OP then you need to expect corrections. I don't know what else to tell you.
