Coach K “Head in Sand” Piece

To take advantage of its talent, Duke has tweaked its offense this offseason. Aside from Tre, whose natural position is point guard, the Blue Devils' remaining four freshmen are all between 6'6" and 6'8" and could all be deployed on the wings with no ideal 5 man. Deploying a scheme that's similar to what many NBA teams have adapted in the wake of the Golden State Warriors' historic run, Duke will run a four- or five-out motion offense, meaning that players will move constantly from the perimeter and that there will be no big man anchoring the paint at times.

"We're extremely versatile," Jones says. "It's really positionless."

Does that mean it's good to have a coach who knows how NBA offenses run, or bad?

On the main subject, what do you want Coach K to say? He could say, "Everyone knows Pitino was a cheater and so is Cal, but at Duke we don't have to cheat as much because I get my man almost every time". But that of course would not go over well. Anyone with a brain knows whats been going on, which just makes it that much more difficult for clean programs like St. John's to build something great on the up and up.
