story time

so kid A says to kid B "let's play tag." kid B agrees. the game begins, kid B quickly catches kid A and tags him. "tag you're it." "not uh," says kid A, "you have to tag me with both hands." kid B objects, "those aren't the rules." "those are the rules we're playing with now," claims kid A. he dashes off.

kid B manages to catch kid A again and this time tags him with both hands. kid A begrudgingly accepts being tagged and chases after kid B. kid A tags kid B with one hand. "tag you're it." "you didn't tag me with both hands." kid A shrugs, "those rules don't apply to me. and by the way I just won the game, the second person to tag wins."

this is what it's like to watch anyone play duke. in the first 4 minutes of the second half against maryland today I saw 4 non-calls and one bogus call going to duke's favor. wanna know why duke players generally don't make good pros? because they don't get the same treatment they did in college and are exposed of the caliber of player they really are.
