His stats were better when I posted. Definitely didn't finish as strong. You also left out 7 assists and 4 boards.

(I still don't understand the hate for Love. The kid always played hard, and was not immune to the bad decisions of his head coach.)

Much love for Caleb. He is what he is but I guess Roy, Hubert, and. Lloyd all failed him based on your comment.

It wasn't Roy or Lloyd that I was talking about. As I was addressing the hate from many UNC fans towards him, which didn't occur until the season before he left. It's hard to have good stats when you're expected to run the same offensive set that doesn't work and then jack up a contested shot when the shot-clock is winding down. (Which is exactly what we're seeing this year, and in previous years under HD.) Roy and Lloyd actually (try to/tried to) change based on their personnel's strengths/weaknesses at the time - those two didn't keep trying to jam a round peg into a slit, especially not to the point where their team gave/gives up all hopes that they know what they're doing. That might be a reason why those two coaches' teams improved over the course of the year, and remained near the top of the landscape, year in and year out.

In no way did the kid always play hard. He was worse last year than RJ, and he's worse again this year. RJ has a higher FG%, higher 3pt, more assists, fewer turnovers and scores more.

Are you trying to say that making more of your shots = playing harder? What on earth?

The kid plays hard, always has.

You're right Bigs, I need to start being more high on HD and staff. I'm just not seeing things that him, or his staff, are doing to praise. How about you help me out: What have you seen from them this year that deserve high praise?

No, you just need to stop droning on about it ad nauseam.
 
Sounds like Jai Luvas is headed to Miami. That's an important loss for the Duke staff. Think he'll be a good head coach.
