Being terrible at developing players for the next level could also be considered a strike against him. And that's probably why his recruiting is suffering as of late. He knows how to win at the collegiate level though. I'll give him that.

I think its fairly obvious that he is (yes Duke fan)

"It?s been paid for with the sweat equity of athletes who thrive in Duke?s system as sensational players, but move on to become victims of that very same system when they can?t cut it in the NBA. Blue Devil glory is built on the back of sacrificial lambs ? the players.

Krzyzewski employs a selfish coaching philosophy that capitalizes on a player?s best skills while exempting them from the responsibility to learn and grow in other areas of the game. This is career suicide for its players and contrary to the coaching philosophy of respectable basketball programs."

"Successful teams like UNC, UCLA, and Georgetown operate with the idea that a player?s skill set is utilized to benefit the team with the expectation that they learn, grow, and acclimate themselves to the system already place, which may mean increasing your foot speed, learning to shoot from outside, or becoming a better defender. This grooms players for successful pro careers.

Duke, on the other hand, builds their program around its star players and requires virtually no expansion in their game. Coach K exploits his players? best skills in the name of the program and gives nothing in return but the feel good feeling that it brings, courtesy of the media. Go in as a jump shooter and leave a jump shooter. Come in as a slasher and leave a slasher, nothing more."

lock thread.

Coach K is awesome. But he doesn't recruit players that are freakin studs. He recruits players that will play team basketball and that he pretty much knows will stay for more than one or two years. Plus it isn't so easy to just get into Duke anyways.

Agreed. Although I wouldn't agree with the op that he is the best in basketball. He is definitely up there though.

grant hill's an exception. but elton brand was nba ready when he got to dook, and magette and deng only stayed one year. they weren't at dook long enough to be corrupted by his system or influenced by his coaching style.

i forgot the best one of all, Boozer. he won a championship and is a star player in the nba.

unfortunately, they've been struggling in the tournaments lately. Perhaps Coach K should stop doing so many commercials and focus a little more on coaching?
