Message: [QUOTE="Hopkins16, post: 5378684, member: 3893"] After year 1 of Red, I had hopes of him becoming a better coach. It seems so long ago, but year 1 wasn’t so bad and there were some good wins. Could a competent point guard cover up his lackluster coaching in year 2? Is the not ready for prime time mid-major transfers to be blamed? Is it possible for Red to make a leap in year 3? The following is from an article regarding the greatest college coach of all time: [I]Coach K's first Blue Devils team posted a 17-13 mark in 1980-81 and lost in the NIT to Purdue. It was the first of what would prove to be three consecutive seasons in which Duke finished sixth or worse in the ACC and did not reach the NCAA tournament. [B]Just trying to find some hope or positivity in another year of Red leading this team.[/B][/I] [/QUOTE]
