This video is not nearly long enough it should have been at least a two hour movie I would have gotten my bag of popcorn ready and I'm not even a Duke hater just would have loved to watch their obnoxious fans deal with the crushing loss (and I'm not even a sadist either).
Great coach who doesn't really get his due.

I like Florida in the Final Vs Houston . Clayton jr is unbelievable .
Golden is a cry baby but , a lot of calls against the Gators were egregious misses by the Refs .
Sampson has a leads been a winning Coach but …….
He was cheating before cheating became legal with the Portal and NIL.
He was suspended by NCAA, like Pitino but , did his penance in the NBA as a Assistant Coach before getting the Houston job .
He just about wrecked Indiana basketball for 4-5 years after his suspension and I think the Hoosiers suffered penalties too .
I’m sure Pitino regrets not getting Clayton to SJ but , he seems to move on from disappointments rather easily .

Get out the milk and cookies, bring in the therapy dogs and goats, cancel classes for at least a week. The mental stress and strain is more than palpable. Any wayward mental health care professionals report at once to the dook campus for triage!
I expect better out of you, MJ. Something like I bet the Flaggs are at half mast at Duke today.
I root against Duke as much as the next guy but I come away so impressed by their three freshmen To compete vs the seasoned men on Houston was admirable.Freshmen on SJU can’t get into a meaningful game.
I just hope they all leave as expected. imagine what kind of a team they would have if they stayed at Duke another couple of years.

Have to wonder how much having such constant, year to year roster turnover for your starting five plays into this. Would need to analyze all the past 10 champs but it’s not easy running with a new core every year.
Benefit to keeping guys like Wilcher and of course Zuby for 3 years
You know at least 4 of them (nova and UConn) were built with a lot of continuity.
This is just outrageously silly.
Do you even know what Sampson was rung up for? I'll help you out: he and his staff were sending too many texts to recruits. No, really.
Bruce Pearl is a crook and always was. Ditto a hundred other coaches.
What Kelvin Sampson did was quaint by comparison, and the punishment they gave him - while turning a blind eye to the real crooks in the game - was ridiculous at the time. It is Exhibit A in the NCAA's abuse of power at the time which is how it wound up with no power now - it violated the "pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered" rule.
And what happened to Indiana after that was their own fault. They screwed it up before they hired Sampson and then they screwed it up after he left. Hiring him might be the only intelligent thing they've done since Bobby Knight exited stage right.
You are dead wrong about most things but you are especially dead wrong about this one

So as not to disappoint and help MIke along, I present the following:
1. Houston burns Flagg
2. Duke waves white Flagg
3. America has “Old Glory”, while Duke has “Old Gory.”
4. The “Stars and Stripes” turns into the “Scars and Gripes” for Duke.
5. Flagg drapes over Duke’s casket
Which is why I have been saying all along that I hope every bench player returns.
Too bad RJ and Brady may not be back but if we retain everyone else, including 2 starters in Zuby and Sim, we will be way ahead of where we were a year ago. If Coach gets a 13th and 14 th guy to help at practices and in cases of multiple injuries no problem, but we need to retain as many as possible of our top 11 players to make the implementation of his system as easy as possible with the new players.
You ought to file appeal Counselor . You are negating opinions that don’t align with yours .
Just say you disagree with a opinion , don’t go overboard .
Dead wrong about most things ? How can opinions be wrong ? They are individual commentary about a event or events .
I have never heard anyone be such a defender of Sampson as you are . But , that’s your opinion . I respect it . .
People I know , close to IU basketball , say he was the worst thing that ever happened to the School .
He blazenly poached Eric Gordon off his LOi, very late in the game , soon after he took the Hoosier job . At that time , Coaches and Schools usually refrained from enticing players away from their LOI
Which is a moot point today in College BB .
Anyway , I thought you stepped over the line with a personal attack .
You are a learned BB fan and a Moderator on this site , which gives you standing to be above the fray .
You have your opinion of Sampson , I have mine . Let it rest there .
I just thought you were harsh. In your comments . That’s all .
