Slowly crumbling?

Am I the only person in this world aware that the Duke basketball program is slowly crumbling infront of our eyes? It seems that all college hoops people, especially Duke fans, are oblivious to the direction Duke basketball is headed. Let's break this down:

1) After Duke, the team picked by many to march easily all the way to the Final Four and win it all, lost in the SWEET 16 of the 2002 NCAA Tournament, Matt Christensen, one of Duke's senior leaders, decided he was going to throw a temper tantrum and attack the referees. The NCAA demanded an apology for the uncalled for antics and Christensen apologized.

2) Shelden Williams, a Duke basketball committee, is accusd of raping a woman. Even though Parade Magazine, McDonald's, and countless other organizations decided Shelden Williams shouldn't be named to many Highschool All-American teams or be allowed to play in the Highschool All-Star games, Duke still admitted the talented prospect to Duke, and he will play basketball.

3) Sean Dockery, another Duke basketball committee, struggled for most of his senior year to meet the academic requirements and get a passing score on the ACT. Dockery eventually gets the score necessary. Based on highschool academic performances, Dockery doesn't seem to be the type of person that will be able to complete and succeed in college academics, especially at Duke. Yet Duke still gives Dockery the "ok" to come to Duke.

4) Casey Sanders, a rising junior, was charged in the spring for assault on a female.

5) After telling the media countless times during the 2001-2002 season that he would return to school for his senior season and after Coach K had named Dunleavy captain for the 2002-2003 team, Mike Dunleavy decides to leave Duke and take his game to the pros, so he declares for the 2002 draft.

I don't know if anyone else has noticed or thought about these recent events in the Duke Basketball program, but I don't think these events shows too much promise for the future.

Good thing I am a Tar Heel! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
