Les Robinson ACC record: 28-66 29.78 win%
Sidney Lowe ACC record: 21-45 31.81 win%

jury still out. it's unlikely but a total tank job this year and he might finish lower

pretty sure Sid hasnt had to deal with NCAA sanctions either

tower and bullet need to distinguish themselves somehow. I see them posting all over the place, but no idea who these guys are or what their stance in this thread is.

^congrats, you might have been paying attention to the game


BUT NO THE SUBSTITUTION MADE ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE LIKE EVERY OTHER LOWE SUB!!1!one!!!!!
HE WAS HOT IN SPITE OF NOT HAVING SCORED FOR ~4 MINUTES!!!!

1/12/2011 9:18:58 PM

^you're an idiot if you think Lowe's subs are random.

Lowe always has a game plan to beat the team that he usually shares afterward on his show. the problem is that his team is not executing the defensive schemes the way they need to to win.

It'll happen, though.

PS - did you see his face after Javi let the shot clock run out? It was the most disappoint I've ever seen a coach ever.

It was a long TV timeout, that's plenty of time to get a blow and he wasn't getting burned any worse than anyone else on the floor. Jackson made brown look silly several times just before that, but he stayed on the floor. It was a stupid sub and 99% of the people watching the game knew it was going to be a disaster the second Javi came on the court after the timeout. Tell me honestly that you didn't give the TV a WTF when you saw Harrow sit down.

And all that doesn't even include the questionable decision to sit CJ williams the entire second half after his career best game.

Coach k credibility watch

1/12/2011 11:14:11 PM

Look guys Reggie Jackson ate our lunch, period.

He's the best player in the ACC right now for god's sake.

We had a good game plan otherwise and we held a great offense to 44% FG and we held them from 3's for the first 36 minutes of the game before they rattled off a couple of big shots at the end.

We didn't rebound well and that was really our #1 advantage in the game and we didn't do it.

If I were to complain about our lineups I would say Howell isn't getting enough minutes with Tracy in the game. Those two are very difficult to matchup with but if Tracy isn't in the game Howell is much less effective. I really hate when we play Howell with Painter because neither passes well enough to play off each other.


Oh look, Duke lost a road game. Fire Coach K.

1/12/2011 11:21:21 PM

You can't just say "Williams did well last week he should play," without thinking about who he would match up against on defense, and the fact that him finishing in the short to mid-range jump shot area doesn't do so well when BC is playing a zone, they'd just collapse on him.

Players are tools who perform well when doing the job they were designed for. You can't just throw them in because they made shots earlier, there's a whole rest of the game to consider.

This thread has become even more stupid now if that was possible.

Everything the "Lowe detractors" say gets turned into a joke by Tree or whoever.

Saying things like fire Coach K and Coach K credibility but yet your are the rational ones right?

I would just like to point out that this article thinks that coach Lowe is a great coach (good enough to head coach in the NBA). The article basically says "The team needs to find some passion," and for all you Lowe hater's who are going to use that article as ammo, make sure you keep in mind that the author is not necessarily on your side.

And he's right, we need defense, and less Javi.

of all the things to be upset about, this isn't really one of them. that you think a single sub cost us a game against god damn boston college is much more upsetting than any absurd notion that sidney lowe makes substitutions by rolling dice.

Tschudi, (is it just coincidence that your name spelled backwards sounds like "i douche"? ), just for fun, how do you explain Duke's loss last night? Was it the fault of the players or the coaches? Just for fun.

1/13/2011 2:23:33 PM

There are only two ways to answer the question posed by the thread title. 1. Absolutely not. 2. Slim chance, but perhaps. There is no other reasonable way to see it.

1/13/2011 2:27:37 PM

combination of Florida State playing great defense (they're one of the best defensive teams in teh country) which took away Duke's ability to drive, Duke missing a lot of shots, too many turnovers and the Plumlee's not being good at basketball. they still played hard though and were in it in the last minute. I didn't see the second half though so I'm basing this off the box score and what I saw in the first half.

1/13/2011 2:31:59 PM

^are any of those coaching issues? cause it sounds like one could say they're all coaching issues.

1/13/2011 2:35:48 PM

some of them are, yes, especially the poor development of big men.

not sure what this has to do with Sid though. sorry if I don't think there's a lot of similarities between arguably the best ACC coach of all time and one of the worst

The coach has good defensive schemes. Listen to him talk about them on his show after the games. He can give these guys direction, but they have to start the fire themselves. They have to decide to put in the effort required to fulfill the defensive schemes. They need a leader who, in the trenches, can lead their charges over the next hill. You can't coach that, it's gotta come from within.

1/13/2011 2:46:36 PM

^^Miami hasn't been a great team since they joined the ACC. They're not defending champs who were ranked #1 in the country. Nice try though.

1/13/2011 2:51:14 PM

I can't believe some of you are using the Duke FSU as some sort of counter argument.

1/13/2011 2:51:25 PM

I'm only using it as a counter argument against the retards who blame every single thing on Sid. That's all.

1/13/2011 2:53:26 PM

yep, let's blame nothing on Sid. that's a much better solution

the only thing i blame sid for is not getting a PG here before this year that was capable of being decent.
