If you listen to coach K it could very well be. (the article also gave us this really goofy picture... had to include it.) There is definitely something not right in Durham right now, and really K is the only one that can change it. I still say to keep an eye on that 2008 recruiting class. If he brings in a couple top 10 type guys with that and a #1 recruiting class, they are going places because it will mean a through rededication of himself to the recruiting trail.. but if it looks like a few really good but not great type players, then I think we know what the result will be. From the sound of things he is really putting himself back out there in the media (and by that I mean giving interviews and not filming commercials) that alone will greatly impact the image of the program. The other thing is a more personal involvement in the day to day operation of that team. I think he was putting way too much responsibility on Collins and Wojo, and it showed in the results of the last few years. Ever since the 01 title things have been a little different, and they changed even more after the Laker's job offer, and this past season was the reward for that hands off approach. I personally hope any kind of self evaluation will bring the results I believe it will, but there really is no way to tell if the dedication and focus will truly be there until we see what brand of basketball the blue devils play this season, and what kind of results begin to come in for the 2008 recruiting class.... I've got my fingers crossed.
