Pissing match

[OZZIE4DUKE]

Don't know how long my post will stay up, or if I'll get a few points for posting it, but I thought I'd post it here to make sure y'all saw it.

It's the Czyz transferring thread on the EK (main) board on DBR.

My specific opinion is that number of transfers the program has experienced in general is undesirable for program (which is a debatable point, if any one cares to debate it), and that the frequency of departures could have implications outside of the program. I get your point that more playing time someplace else can be a better path to the NBA for a bench dweller, but in Olek's case, don't agree.

Please don't take this personally, sixth (and 6th) man, but you guys crack me up. You know not of what you post.

This is the very reason I deleted my post. I am tired of folks like yourself with your holier than thou attitude. You are correct. Olek played 2 minutes so the post I deleted where I said he din't play was indeed wrong. My point was he got no meaningful minutes. They are ripping Gardner Webb apart and Scheyer, Singler and company are still in the game late. I was merely trying to point out that the bench should get a little more PT in games like this. They work hard to be student athletes at Duke and practice hard. They should at least get a little PT in the games where they can. (2 minutes isn't really playing in my opinion). I don't think any of the guys that usually never play will develop. I'm just saying throw them a bone in games like this.

Ozzie, you may not agree with me, but no reason to disrespect me or sixth man for our opinions.

This is undesirable, and because our basketball team has such a high profile, can have implications outside of the basketball program. As I suggested before, Kevin White can serve in his role as the leader of the athletic department and university to assess the concerns in this broader context and, help in the process of shining light on how to manage things better. It's fine if other's think I am wrong, but would be more interesting if they said why.


My response: (I had posted earlier in the thread and they are quoted above)

Ooh! A p*ssing match! I feel like my friends Jumbo and FDA - guess I'm just in the mood tonight.

I did read your posts, both sixth and 6th, and think you're both wrong. If lower level players want to transfer, so be it. K gets blasted here when he doesn't go after "back up" players for depth, and when he does, he gets blasted for getting them and then when they get disappointed with their playing time and leave for greener pastures, he gets blasted again. Olek got one start this season - the second exhibition game I think? Probably the only one he'd ever get, barring injury to other players. Boateng? Boykin? Again, nice raw talents who we've never missed, and would never have gotten significant playing time. E-Will left for other (personal) reasons.

The Kevin White reference is just plain ridiculous, as has been stated by others above.

Me elite? Holier than thou? Yup, I am. Guilty as charged. Always have been and always will be. I love Duke, I'm proud of Duke, I'm proud of my degree (BSE 1976). And anyone who doesn't like it, well tough nuggies. Get over it and get a life.

Oz - great post! I support you! Was loaded for bear, ready to blast those "less than fortunate intellectuals", but waiting to see if the sun hits their foreheads with wisdom from your words! ;)

Pissing matches are better than having John Wall & Harrison Barnes monster recruiting threads... I guess.

I agree with everything except "tough nuggies". It's spelt "tough noogies".

Damn. You're right. It didn't look right, but the spell checker didn't offer any suggestions

Spelt? Shouldn't that be spelled?

Did you remove the pissing match sentence from your post, or was it removed for you?

Edited, warned, no points assessed.

That's why I posted the original here, just for posterity's sake
