  1.

    Oh, so Dukey.

  2. A look at current Division I basketball coaching tenures, from 1 to 351 - D1scourse.com

    The first two longest-tenured coaches are no surprise. But how about Greg Kampe, Rick Byrd and Fang Mitchell? Great work here:

    “And now, the promised list, from 1 (Boeheim) to 351 (Stetson’s Corey Williams, at least for a little while but probably not for long):

    1976

    1. April 3 Jim Boeheim, Syracuse

    1980

    2. March 18 Mike Krzyzewski, Duke

    1984

    3. Greg Kampe, Oakland

    1986

    4. April Rick Byrd, Belmont
    5. May 7 Fang Mitchell, Coppin State”

  4. “7. The lost season. Back surgery forced Krzyzewski to miss most of the 1994-95 season. In his place, assistant Pete Gaudet took over the head coaching duties and finished the year 4-15. Those losses aren’t credited to Krzyzewski’s career record. Among other things, this allows him to maintain the impressive feat of 30 straight years of never finishing below .500. (Coach K’s 9-3 record from the first 12 games of the season is all that shows up in the record books.) This isn’t egregious. I don’t think wins and losses that coaches didn’t coach should be counted. One person who disagrees with that position is Mike Krzyzewski. “I think I should have been credited with all the losses,” he said in 2007. Yeah, because he doesn’t have the pull to make that happen.” (via The 12 biggest reasons everybody hates Duke)

  5. “ 10. Marshall Plumlee By Albert Burneko A mildly prestigious college basketball surname attached to 27 vertical feet of gawky uselessness, towering goober Marshall will follow his free education at Virtue University with a wildly unearned, insultingly lucrative career as a pair of elbows with six personal fouls attached for the next decade. Somehow, The Last Plumlee’s loathsomeness quotient grows in exact inverse proportion to his playing time, which puts him on pace to finish his college basketball career with a reputation only incrementally favorable to Bernie Madoff’s.” (via The 13 Most Annoying Men Of March Madness)

  6. “Coach Collins’ connections to Chicago run deep. As the son of Doug Collins, he grew up in a basketball family in Northbrook, Illinois, a North Shore suburb of the Windy City.  He was named Mr. Basketball of the state of Illinois coming out of Glenbrook North High School, the same school as Jon Scheyer. At Duke he has been instrumental in signing not only Scheyer, but a number of other talented guards, many also sons of NBA players. According to multiple reports, Collins would be interested in the Northwestern job now that it has become available.” (via Duke Associate Head Coach Chris Collins strongly rumored for Norhwestern head coaching job | Duke Hoop Blog)

  7. It’s not a stretch to say that Ryan Kelly is the crucial piece in Duke’s title hopes right now. He’s not the star – tonight’s scoring explosion notwithstanding – but he’s the guy who gives the stars an extra inch or two to operate, and denies that same real estate to opponents. That can be the difference between ending play in March and ending play in April. (via Ryan Kelly’s career day shows why he makes Duke a title contender | CollegeBasketballTalk)
