It's a Shame, but Jerry Sloan Had to Go
By Terence Moore - AOL NewsPlayers get sick of your voice. They really do. So the surprising thing isn't that Jerry Sloan quit as the Utah Jazz coach with two months left in the season, but that he lasted this long. Twenty-three years? With the same team? And by using an approach -- on and off the court -- that hasn't changed since he first grabbed a whistle? That's not happening anymore, not since the attention span of modern athletes resembles that of young people throughout the rest of society, as in fleeting. As in, what was it like near the end of Bobby Cox's nearly three-decade run as a major league manager, ...
Order Restored as Duke-Carolina Rivalry Heats Up Again
By Ray Holloman - AOL NewsFor the ACC, it was like pulling Punxsutawney Phil out in July or making a birthday wish three months late. The motions were still there when Duke and North Carolina met last year, but somehow it didn't have the same meaning. For the league dominated by two shades of blue, a season without a meaningful Duke-Carolina matchup was the year without Santa Claus. At least, excluding Sidney Lowe's ongoing sartorial impersonation. "No matter what, the [North Carolina-Duke] games are going to be big, but when it's a battle for first place, that makes it so much greater," Duke sophomore Seth Curry ...
Mike Krzyzewski's Eldest Daughter Recovering From Mild Stroke
By FanHouse Newswire - AOL NewsDURHAM, N.C.(AP) -- The oldest daughter of Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski is expected to make a full recovery after suffering a mild stroke several weeks ago. The school said in a statement Monday night that Debbie Krzyzewski Savarino is back at work as the assistant director of Duke's Legacy Fund and director of external relations for the Blue Devils' basketball office. According to the statement, Savarino is recovering from a vertebral artery dissection that resulted in a mild stroke. School spokesman Jon Jackson says Savarino's recovery is progressing "extremely well." Copyright 2011 The ...
NCAA Basketball Power Rankings: Ohio State No. 1 A.D. (After Duke)
By Matt Snyder - AOL NewsFor the first time of the 2010-11 college basketball season, the Duke Blue Devils are not the consensus best team in the nation. They fell Wednesday night at Florida State, 66-61, and will have to give up the perch they've had all season -- the No. 1 spot in nearly every poll out there. It goes without saying that shift takes place atop FanHouse's power rankings, as the Blue Devils tumble to No. 4. Ohio State slides into the top spot, but it wasn't unanimous. Two of our panelists voted for the Buckeyes to be No. 1, while two liked Kansas. A single rating point separates the top slot from ...
Florida State Drops No. 1 Duke Again
By Jim Henry - AOL NewsTALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Nolan Smith leaned forward and exhaled. It has been 10 months since Duke's locker room had been this quiet, this somber. Players undressed in silence, while Florida State's celebrating fans remained at center court in a repeat of history against the Blue Devils. The Seminoles pulled off their latest upset of No. 1 Duke, snapping the Blue Devils' 25-game winning streak with a 66-61 victory here Wednesday night before a sold-out crowd of 12,100 and a national television audience. It was the third time since 2002 that the Seminoles beat a top-ranked Duke team at home. The ...
Florida State Hopes History Repeats a Third Time Against Defending Champ Duke
By Jim Henry - AOL NewsTALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- At least Florida State has home history on its side against top-ranked Duke. The Seminoles must recapture that past magic -- in addition to finding an offense -- if they want to beat the undefeated and defending national champion Blue Devils Wednesday night and steady their footing in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Slumping FSU has suffered back-to-back road losses to Auburn and Virginia Tech as it returns home for the first time in a month. "In the past 10 or 15 years they've been as consistent as anybody in the league," FSU coach Leonard Hamilton said of the Blue ...
Next Play: Mike Krzyzewski Continues Quiet Climb Up Wins List
By Ray Holloman - AOL NewsGREENSBORO, N.C. -- After 35 years and 880 wins, Mike Krzyzewski tinkered with the buttons on the front of his suit jacket, then clapped and waved politely at the throng of Duke fans that remained at the Greensboro Coliseum long after the outcome of the Blue Devils' 108-62 victory had been certain, a sort of reserved celebration that might seem at home in the clubhouse at Augusta or before the Royal Box at Wimbledon. The victory put Krzyzewski ahead of former North Carolina coach Dean Smith, a man with whom his professional rivalry was so well known that images of Smith dotted the Coliseum, ...
Mike Krzyzewski Once Again Measured Against Dean, and Vice Versa
By David Steele - AOL NewsGREENSBORO, N.C. -- Dean Smith was all over the Greensboro Coliseum Wednesday night. Yes, in memory, legacy and history, on the night that Mike Krzyzewski supplanted him on the all-time college basketball coaching victory list, in the very building where Smith's North Carolina teams fought to maintain the upper hand over Krzyzewski's Duke squads in a rivalry that takes a back seat to no one. Statistically, with the Blue Devils' 108-62 rout of UNC-Greensboro, Krzyzewski did in fact take the upper hand. But Smith was also there in name and image, if not in person. As No. 1-ranked Duke rolled ...
FanHouse Roundtable: College Basketball Pre-Conference Awards
By FanHouse Staff - AOL NewsMost college basketball teams are between 1/3 and 1/2 of the season being completed and we're a just over a week until everyone dives fully into conference play. What better time, with the Christmas holiday looming and so many readers sitting at home looking for some reading material, to assess where we are. Everyone has thoughts on the best team, player and freshman in addition to the surprises and disappointments we've seen from college basketball in the latter few months of 2010. Three of those people -- FanHouse college basketball blogger Evan Hilbert and editors Ray Holloman and Matt ...
Coach K Ties Dean Smith as No. 1 Duke Cruises to Win Over Elon
By FanHouse Newswire - AOL NewsDURHAM, N.C. (AP) -- Kyle Singler scored 24 points to help No. 1 Duke beat Elon 98-72 on Monday night, moving coach Mike Krzyzewski into a tie for second place on the all-time wins list. Nolan Smith added 22 points as the Blue Devils (11-0) gave their Hall of Fame coach his 879th win in 36 seasons at Duke and Army. Krzyzewski is now tied with Dean Smith, who spent 36 seasons at rival North Carolina before retiring in 1997 as the winningest coach Division I history. Krzyzewski can pass Smith by beating North Carolina-Greensboro at the Greensboro Coliseum on Dec. 29. That would leave only ...
