Duke Analysis
Sent: Sat Feb 14 13:39:40 2009
We are getting ready to take off for Boston in a couple of hours and the Blue Devils have been busy preparing for the key ACC road trip, including a workout this morning and a shootaround tonight at Conte Forum. Tomorrow night’s game tips at 5:30 on FoxSportsNet. There hasn’t been much to send out this week since the local papers have continually been focused on the negative and the ludicrous study of a technical foul since Wednesday’s game.
Note from Nut:
The only way Duke can beat a team like UNC or UConn is to play a zone or matchup zone. They don't have the quickness outside or strength inside to play those guys one on one. I wish Coach K was more flexible in changing his play strategies for the opponents now that he no longer has superior talent. He is too locked into his ways--not the sign of a good coach.
Sometimes a coach has to adjust his defense to his personnel. Woody Hayes and Bobby Knight failed to do that late in their careers- maybe because. they had been so successful early. But the key to success is being flexible with your strategies and surprising the other team.
