As Dan has pointed out many times with all the talent he has had he should have more than 3. I think before K is done at Duke he will probably win at least 2 more, I don't think Mack Brown is going to win anymore titles at Texas because he will not get a transcendent athlete like Vince Young again and he overcoaches in key situations he was just lucky that last year he was facing Pete Carrol who has not had to coach in 3 years because of the sick talent at USC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1157138307610350242006-09-01T15:18:00.000-04:002006-09-01T15:18:00.000-04:00this topic is being punished over at...www.sonsofk...this topic is being punished over at...<BR/><BR/>www.sonsofkc.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/>WE'RE the morning quickie now, bitches!

The group play is good because you can lose one and still be in good shape, but when it gets to the knockout stages, one bad shooting night and you are done. Basketball is a game of coaching and adjustments. If each knockout round was a 3 game series or if the did a round-robin with the final four teams, the US surely would have been able to correct mistakes and take gold.Ted Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096182603306384625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1157137775925163622006-09-01T15:09:00.000-04:002006-09-01T15:09:00.000-04:00I'm glad Shanoff left the Booyah Network.

The NBA game is structured around being able to take 5 steps hop, take another 5 steps and then dunk it. <BR/><BR/>The International game is called closer to the actual rules of basketball.
