HUGE sigh of relief.

if he had left, not that college basketball would have been bad but it would have lost a good coach. if you think about the whole thing it was a smart move because kobe could be found guilty and coach k would have looked stupid for leaving duke. and i really dont like how the lakers are doing everything in their power to keep kobe and saying damn to everything else on the lakers. he isn't promised to be a laker next year as far as his legal problems as well as his free agency. and the way they have treated shaq in the process? mitch and jerry have a hell of a conundrum on his hands if this doesn't pan out.

back on coach k thou, i like him more now that im out of college than i did when i was in. even though his kids don't stay he still recruits well and does well with his talent.

3 national championships, 11 time coach of the year and 10 final fours.  yeah thats overrated

Those numbers only come from the free recruiting help and hype that Duke gets every year from ESPN and DookieV. Any moron with a decent coaching staff would get the same results with that program. :x

If Coach K was actually a good coach instead of a mediocre one he would have easily won twice the amount of titles than he has now with all the talent he has had there so yes he "IS" highly overrated.

What brand of college basketball are you watching? Duke plays in the most competitive conference in college basketball, in which EVERY school gets great recruiting. I hate Duke, I much prefer UNC, but UNC is more of a "ESPN darling" than Duke. Every year, their pre-season rankings have UNC much higher than they should be. Hell, one of their SportsCenter hosts is a UNC graduate.

And, if you want to really understand how great of a coach he is, look at the season he missed due to back surgery. They started the season 9-3 with a low talent pool, then Coach K misses the rest of the year and Duke misses the NCAA Tournament. Comes back next season, same players and they make the tournament. Yeah, pretty mediocre. In 20 years, he has only lost more than 9 games TWICE.

By the way, Dean Smith only has 2 NCAA titles in his career at UNC. But, I guess he was mediocre, too.:rolleyes:s:

I know the ACC was really strong last year but they are usually a top heavy conference with a few good teams and the rest being mediocre at best.

The ESPN/DookieV/East Coast bias is actually a free recruiting tool for most of the ACC schools but Duke benefits from this more than the others schools do. The other NCAA conferences don't get this kind of free recruiting help like the ACC schools get every year. :x

Yes, Coach K is highly overrated. It's a good thing they don't have a real coach like Olsen, Knight, Izzo, Self, Williams, Pitino, etc. to go along with all that talent they get each year, whew!!! :rofl:

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
