Tony is talking about how Gary has 2 assistant spots open and asks Gary if he can have the #2 assistant job and get yelled at and only come to home games. Gary asks him if he can recruit and Tony says that he could recruit players on PTI if that's not illegal and Gary says "Well, with some of the recent commercials I've seen, I'm not so sure that would be illegal."

Amen......

But don't forget, he's not a coach, he's a leader that just happens to coach basketball.......

why does everyone think these Coach K commercials help his recruiting? I don't think an american express commercial will change anyone's decisions to attend or not attend Duke.

because when you recruit someone, you try to sell your program to your recruit...

most on this board feel that is what he is doing in those commercials and AmEx is paying him to do it... It doesn't hurt matters that they are televised during nationally televised college basketball games...

What if another coach was in that commercial?? So is Duke exempt, because it can't help their recruiting?

Wow...just think of all those young basketball players who had never heard of Duke. Now they have.



Jealousy makes some people say stupid things. :wave:

It's almost to the point of brainwashing. If you see a certain thing over and over without seeing anything different, you're bound to favor it over other things. If a college recruit is undecided about a college, and they see Duke on ESPN, Duke on Fox, Duke on CBS, and now Duke commercials, you can't tell me that that doesn't influence their decision.

Let me put it to you this way. Pick a college from the following...

Hmmn. I think that this is true when deciding whether to get McDonalds or Burger King....

But not when deciding where I'm going to go to college for the next 3-4 years.

But that's just me. I guess the only way for us to know if you're right or not is to see whether or not Duke starts getting really good players. :rolleyes:

C'mon dude BK over Mc Ds anyday

NC No Contest

But I must say Darius Rucker's BK commercials are QUITE HORRIBLE...almost makes me ashamed of the fact I worked at BK for 6yrs.

...Anyone tried that new Big Breakfast sandwhich they got? It looks to be on a chicken sandwhich bun and has bacon, egg, cheese, and sausage. DAYUMN....kind of liek that big croisant they got.
