The facts remain that he was a disciple of arguably the best (top 3) basketball coaches of all time and left a SERVICE ACADEMY with a winning record. Duke obviously did their homework and concluded that there was a reason other than his ability that led them to a bad season his final year there, ala Crean this past season.

Again, there's nothing on Ray's resume that says "hire this guy." He was never an assistant for a hall of fame coach, he never personally affected a super star talent, and he was a bench coach for a program that actively tried to hire Rick Stansbury a couple of seasons ago. Let that sink in. The quicker we realize Ray was probably brought in to be the fall guy for this next administration the more commrodary our fanbase is soon to have.

I don't need to tell you why an 11 year NBA vet is more qualified than Ray.
