Duke


After being number one in the country for four weeks in college hoops, I think the only place is to go down.  Duke has already started conference play in the ACC.  They have been tested against Davidson, and that was my proof that Duke will NOT have a perfect season.  Just last night, number 4 Arizona lost to the Oregon Ducks.  That means that other teams in college basketball are coming out of the dark shadows.  Coach K has done a great job as a coach for Duke and for the U.S.A. Mens Olympic team.  I think the most outstanding thing is that Coach K has been only at Duke for his coaching career.  Jim Boeheim has also done this, but isn't as well-known for his career at Syracuse.  Both of these coaches have given each other compliments about getting over 900 wins.  Although, Coach K has the most career wins in Men's Division 1 history.  Jim Boeheim has the second most career wins in Men's Division 1 history.  I think Coach K has left a bigger mark in the country than Jim Boeheim because he was the head coach of the Men's Olympic team this summer.  Jim was an assistant coach on the same team this summer.  I do think in 2016 Jim Boeheim has a chance of being the head coach of the Men's Olympic team because Coach K has already announced that he won't be the head coach.  Another reason is because Jim has been with these players for such a long time, he has chemistry with them and he knows how to challenge them.
