and i think he won by a lot more votes than he should have

3/31/2006 11:22:27 AM

I hate to say it but I agree with ESPN.

3/31/2006 11:24:37 AM

boy he sure did play like it in the NCAA tournament!

3/31/2006 11:25:01 AM

its the AP's award, not ESPN's. but you are the mod so ok

3/31/2006 11:25:22 AM

Good point.

BTW I was looking at the link title.

3/31/2006 11:27:27 AM

hahahaha

this thread has started masterfully

3/31/2006 11:27:44 AM

voting is done before the tournament so both their perfomances in the tournament dont matter at all

[Edited on March 31, 2006 at 11:29 AM. Reason : thats better]

3/31/2006 11:28:48 AM

i think the tournament proved how Sheldon Williams MADE that team day in and day out...not that Redick isnt a great player

but Morrison didnt have another superstar to help him out...course he also played in a weaker conference...but they're both crybabies hahah

3/31/2006 11:29:16 AM

like hodge

3/31/2006 11:34:00 AM

I agree with Treetwista... to an extent. They were on JJ like white on... JJ. That means Sheldon and the others were open. They shouldn't have lost.

3/31/2006 11:41:22 AM

now again i, like you all, have seen redick singlehandedly kill us in games...he was a great college player who will be hustling people in pickup games at the YMCA in a few years...but a great college player nonetheless...but he did have a beastly center helping him out and the ACC's all time leading scorer should have been able to lead his team, as a senior, past the Sweet 16

3/31/2006 11:43:36 AM

and past the sweet 16 in three of his four years in school

3/31/2006 11:46:04 AM

At least Morrison gets to share the basketball writers association player of the year award with him

3/31/2006 11:46:22 AM

^^yeah, reaaaaaaaaally far past, like the elite 8

and 'ol roy wins national coach of the year by a comfortable amount

3/31/2006 11:53:44 AM

actually, duke made it past the sweet 16 just ONE out of his 4 years.

2003: lost to Kansas in the sweet 16
2004: final four
2005: lost to MSU in the sweet 16
2006: lost to LSU in the sweet 16

3/31/2006 11:56:32 AM

that's what I meant

he said

"should have been able to lead his team, as a senior, past the Sweet 16"

and i continued his statement with

3/31/2006 11:57:32 AM

ah, gotcha

3/31/2006 11:59:02 AM

I disagree. They both made each other.

You take either one of them and put them on a team where they don't have a person to rely on that is good as they are, and both of them lose 20% of what makes them so good.

Thats why Duke was so brutal, focus on Shelden, JJ will kill you, focus on JJ without an answer for Shelden, Shelden will kill you. It was only a matter of time until they ran into a team that had an answer for both and you finally see the weaknesses at Duke, which is all their support players this year could stand to be a little better (in re of winning it all).

3/31/2006 12:17:23 PM

^you made my point better than I could have. Well said.

Very much as a solo Jules still managed to make our team last year b/c he made the players around him better.

[Edited on March 31, 2006 at 12:26 PM. Reason : Jules]

3/31/2006 12:25:22 PM

Bennerman should have won

^^^^,^^^i agree and maybe i went a little overboard saying Shelden made the team

but my main point was that Adam Morrison didnt have a Shelden Williams to help his team win 25 games

3/31/2006 12:55:49 PM

while he wasnt a sheldon williams, batista was pretty sick this year and helped gonzaga out a lot

Pearl got robbed even more by not getting SEC coach of the year

however, with the way the Final Four shaped up, maybe he didnt

haha perhaps

So Daughtery won the award in 2001 and then looked what happened....

How I wish that would happen again....

3/31/2006 3:28:50 PM

He's going to have hard time getting enough playing time in NBA.
