Coach K has coached only 1 NBA champion

  Crazy stat. Danny Ferry was the only one to win one.
  
  So basically if you want to win a NBA championship don't play for coach K

  Okay?
  
  Great jab?

  Careful ironman. That dude who got it wrong could kick your ass.

  LOL Funny vid.

  If anything it says more about his ability to win in college without great future NBA players
• BlueDevil11

  

  That is a crazy stat, when you think of all of the great players that he has coached.

  Were they tall? Maybe he could have had his own NBA team and won a championship?
• trackandccrunner

  Says a lot about the terrible NBA coaches their are then. Just think they had to get Coach K for the USA mens team.

  K's job isnt to win NBA chanpionships. He coaches in the NCAA. If you knew anything about recruiting you would know that the average NBA player cant get into Duke. Also K hasnt recruited the 1 and done type college players, he wants players that will stay 4 years of college.
  
  What you should look at is the fact of how many players K puts in the league.

  That post is just great, lol.
  
  It was fine until your last line...which in itself just solidifies the OP "point". Its amazing all the players who arent stars in the league havent been on a championship team.
• krazie45

  

  Actually Coach K has coached many NBA champions, look at the Team USA roster...

  How in the hell do I solidify the OP? I believe that I owned his ass by my last post.

  Because they have the second most players in the NBA yet only have 1 NBA championship.
• ironman02

  I'm pretty sure Carolina has 14 players currently in the NBA. I'm thinking that list isn't very accurate.
  
  Tyler Hansbrough - Indiana Pacers
  Ty Lawson - Denver Nuggets
  Wayne Ellington - Minnesota Timberwolves
  Danny Green - Cleveland Cavaliers
  Brandan Wright - Golden State Warriors
  Marvin Williams - Atlanta Hawks
  Sean May - Sacramento Kings
  Raymond Felton - Charlotte Bobcats
  Jawad Williams - Cleveland Cavaliers
  Brendan Haywood - Washington Wizards
  Antawn Jamison - Washington Wizards
  Vince Carter - Orlando Magic
  Rasheed Wallace - Boston Celtics
  Jerry Stackhouse - Milwaukee Bucks

  I'd love to see the numbers for the rest of the teams. I bet no one has those. How convenient.
  
  Either way, this thread is f******* pointless.

  either way this thread obviously pissed you off
• SportsAndLady

  

  Why is this thread so pointless? You don't find it particularly odd that a great college coach running a great college program has had ONE player in his decades of coaching win an NBA Title?
• georgemc80

  The point is simple. How can he control what happens to the players and their success in the NBA?
  
  He can't control what team or situation his kids are put in.
  He can't stop chronic injuries
  He can't stop motorcycle and car accidents
  He can't stop moronic trades
  He can't stop poor signings
  He can't do anything to influence the NBA

  While the OP purpose of this thread was probably to take a jab at Coach K, I still do find it odd that only 1 players has a championship that attended Duke.
  
  It reminds me of Coach Knight, who I think also only has 1 player (Isaiah Thomas) with a championship. Although I dont really know the history of the NBA team for all the time Knight was coaching in the 70s and 80s.
