No, but he is one arrogant dude. I laughed when I toured the new IMG offices and his personal office was about 10 times as big as anyone else's.
15 coaches that immediately come to mind ahead of Jeff [Redacted]: Tom Crean, Tom Izzo, Coach K, Roy Williams, Brad Stevens, Shaka Smart, Mark Few, Bill Self, JT3, Bo Ryan, Bill Donovan, Jamie Dixon, Mike Brey, Tubby Smith, Thad Matta. I could continue naming more than 200 others before I got to Jeff, but he's right, no more than 10 in the country I'd want my son to play for.
Coach K's first 3 years at duke caused a mini-rebellion with Duke fans. Their club is called the "iron dukes" and at that time there was another group that came about called the "concerned dukes".
Coach K's record for his first three years:
17–13
10–17
11–17
Buzz's record:
8-24
13-18
11-14 (to date)
In Coach K's 4th season he went 24-10.
What does this prove? Essentially nothing. K was building a program. Buzz has been building a "culture" There were signs of progress with Coach K. With Buzz we're just sinking deeper in the mud. I understand that instant success isn't assured. But neither is delayed gratification a guarantee of any success.
They should view him as a large part of the problem. People like him facilitated this bullshit.
I'm really at a loss at how they're going to spin this season into next season.
I could kind of understand how gullible people would buy that we needed to get rid of some bad apples and get a full season out of Tony Chennault in order to be successful in Year 2.
I could kind of understand how gullible people would buy that we needed new talent from a large freshman class especially at PG in order to win in Year 3.
I don't understand how people can buy that we're going to be an NCAA Tournament team without our best player coming back simply based on improvement from the freshman year to sophomore year of players who haven't been all that impressive. Not to mention there are 7 months for these kids to get into trouble and invalidate the culture argument.
Edit: Daniel Green will have to take his jersey down from the rafters to actually play next season.
This is just polite small talk on Sutton's part.
I read in another thread that Mrs. Bzzz hates it at Wake. Also, don't forget that daughter Bzz is graduating this year. This is all the additional information that we need to know to deduce that Bzzz is gone after this season.
Bottom line: When momma's not happy in the household, nobody's happy!

maybe dv7 should print a larger sign?
How old is this Ben Sutton dude?

God damn it.
Well, this is inevitable in any revolution: time for class warfare.
