Duke All-Decade Teams Under K (80s-90s-00s-10s-Overall)
(With Joe Gaudio)
2019 Offseason, Ep. 3
When a coach has excelled throughout 40 years at the same school, creating all-decade teams becomes quite the task. Joe Gaudio and I grind out our individual choices for the 1980s, 90s, 00s, and 2010s, plus an all-time team under K.
For each decade we give a 1st and 2nd team, or if easier it could be thought of as a 10-man rotation with 5 starters and 5 bench players (though if we're being honest, we all know K would never go 10-deep). For those whose career crossed over into a different decade, we go with the decade when they played more seasons, and if split evenly, we chose the decade in which the player had more success.
Some of our choices coincided, some choices differed. More than anything, we gained insight into the way we view the impact of the players on some of our favorite teams, thus leading to choices that some may find surprising.
After the all-decade and all-K teams, the episode finish up with each of us giving a list of our top 10 favorite Dukies (which for me is a long overdue update to an episode from 2015). We also include an all-one-and-done team.
I may eventually post our choices on twitter and update this written podcast description, but I feel like it'd be more fun for a listener to not know what's coming as well as to listen to our descriptions, because as always, the how and why is just as if not more interesting to me than the what.
Enjoy!
