Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 4170303, member: 40"] K is a dick -- everybody recognizes that. Great guy, but a first rate pri<k [as many successful, driven coaches are]. But IMO, the one who came off looking the poorest was Amaker. He's left the nest, had high profile positions, and had success. He's weathered the ups-and-downs, proven himself, and has shown that he can be a successful D1 head coach. Plus, he's a grown a$$ man -- if he got talked out of taking the Duke position, that's on him. It's not like he's been tethered to Coach K, and has to do what he says -- he's been gone from being on the Duke staff for TWO DECADES. Assuming that the report that he was [U]offered[/U] the job is correct, versus just being contacted about it. If he WAS offered the job, and chose to allow his ostensible mentor talk him out of taking the job, then that's on him. He's a seasoned enough guy to make his own decisions. [/QUOTE]
