Can somebody please tell me why Andre Dawkins was on the bench for the ENTIRE game? This was inexcusable, especially during the last 10 minutes where the game was well in hand. Here's a kid who game up his precious senior year in high school for Duke and this is the way he's treated? By riding the bench when we're up by 20?

Does Coach K have any compassion towards anyone who lost their sister a couple months back? I'm no therapist but I'm sure that actually playing basketball may help him out of his understandable slump both with regards to his emotional recovery and shooting the 3.

If I were Andre I would seriously consider transferring just like countless other former Duke freshmen who should've played more and are doing so at other programs like Villanova, Arizona State, and Nevada. And make Duke repay him for "teasing" him to come out of high school early to "help" them out!

I would actually post the same thing on 10 articles if it would help out. But Coach K is way set in his ways and obviously won't change. Even if 30 freshmen were to transfer, he can do still things however he darn well pleases with his coaching resume.

It doesn't make it right though. Especially with regards to Andre's very unique situation of leaving high school early and the recent loss of a loved one.

What drives me crazy is the difference between Duke at home and on the road.
