With Spain sporting two NBA players of their own (one plays with Kobe on the Lakers), they weren't easy to put away.  But Team USA was able to get it done!  They won the gold with pride, humility, and sheer determination.

Coach K has added yet another major accomplishment to his already impressive resume: 800+ wins, HOF, 10 Final Fours, three National Championships, and now Olympic Gold.  Once he surpasses Bob Knight as the winningest college hoops coach, Coach K will be deemed by the vast majority (minus a few unimportant disgruntled Tarhole fans) as the greatest college coach ever.  Man, it's good to be a Duke fan!!  Man, it's good to be a citizen of the USA!!!

WooHoo!!!! Coach K all the way! USA rules the b-ball court! I am a proud American and Duke fan!!

Hockeyrules - no doubt about it. Never once have I said that the players had no part in it. Obviously, they had the greatest part in winning the gold.

Actually, you left out Jerry Colangelo and his role. Coack K was definitely instrumental, but in the end, it was the process that required a three year commitment and the decision by some players who had shunned international competition before that were as instrumental in getting the medal.

Hockeyrules - it's amazing to me that only a few disgruntled Tarhole fans are the only folks in the entire country who don't recognize that this team was developed and cultivated by Coach K and his staff for the past three years. Oh, and regarding my use of the term "Tarhole", only if you've never used the term "Dook" can you complain about my use of the word.

OBD, the minute you use Tarhole and start your crying about Coach K and his accompolishments, your agenda becomes obvious.

The players won the medal. Congrats to them.

Congrats to all of them, for a job well done.

Hockeyrules - I am simply reacting based on my fanmanship of Team USA and my fanmanship of Duke's Coach K. No harm in that, and I am quite positive that the Heels would be on this board in droves if the roles were reversed, yourself included. So suck it up, quit your whining, and recognize Team USA (that was led by K)!!!!

Spain actually has more then just 2 NBA players.

LOL...First, it was support the team because they are American.

now, once again, it is "Tarhole" and more about Duke than about American.

Your true colors seem to always shine through.

congrats to the team, they get the medals.

Congratulations to "Coach K" and "Team USA".

They made it look like a cake walk early on but Spain turned out to be a handful.

Even coming from a UNC fan, this has to make you feel very proud.

JOO
