0:00Thanks to Byrd Campbell 0:30Jason welcomes Donald to this NBA Draft pod.

0:00Byrd Campbell, our sponsors 0:25Sam welcomes us and Donald tells a story about getting new subscribers to the pod. 3:20Our main topic, the NCAA Commission on College Basketball releases their report and Sam gives us an overview of what it contains. 8:00Jason gives us his take on the UNC scandal portion of the report. 9:40Jason says there’s a fundamental question that the commission failed to address. 14:20Donald gets us into a conversation about the NCAA’s relationship with the NBA draft. 20:15Sam notes that the committee seems determined to preserve the amateur model, which is really about keeping money in the hands of the schools and out of the hands of the players. 26:10Jason is angry about players not being able to make money off their image. 28:30Sam makes a great point about the missed chance we had to really change the sport. 32:05Jason plays a game… if you could chance one thing about college hoops, what would it be? Donald gets it started by saying that if you go to college, you must stay in college for 3 years. 37:30Sam says that a full NBA minor league system will make college hoops less interesting and will hurt viewership. 40:10The one thing about the sport that Sam would change is letting players make money off their image/likeness/jersey and the such. 42:05Jason and Sam getting into a mini-fight over whether we watch college hoops for the quality of play or for the competition. 47:40Jason talks about what he would change about the sport… you either say you are a pro or you are a student-athlete, and you can’t be both. 53:15Donald closes the debate saying he wishes the fans were part of the solution instead of being the innocent bystanders. 55:05Thanks again to Byrd Campbell, the Duke legal eagles! 55:45Parting Shot - Sam says there is a survey all us Duke fans need to take.

Sam is about to become the podcast MVP thanks to a change of address. 0:00Thank you, Byrd Campbell 0:30Donald welcomes us to ep #117 and Jason talks about playing beer pong with his son’s friends 4:00Introducing our special guest, Ed Armstrong, winner of the DBR bracket challenge! 5:55Jason wants to know how a Duke fan managed to pick Villanova and Kansas to beat Duke! 8:20Ed wants to talk about Coach K and the guys who surround him – are we worried about having such an inexperienced coaching staff with Capel leaving? 9:30Sam is not worried, but points out that replacing K will probably go awful because it always goes awful when you replace a legend. 12:10Donald points out that our assistant coaches don’t have a learning curve. They know what is means to be a part of the Duke program. 14:55Jason thinks that when K retires, a replacement will be named so quickly, we won’t have time to worry about it. 18:20Ed says he really wanted Capel to stick around as he thinks the transition will go easier if it is someone who is on the Duke staff at that moment. 23:30Ed brings up a second topic – he’s worried about the lack of upperclassmen going forward. 25:00Donald says this is the era we are in… not much we can do about it. 27:00Jason tries to link the issue of young players with Duke’s young assistant coaches (and Sam almost destroys Jason with facts). 29:30Sam says he won’t be picking Duke to be a big winner in 2019, because he thinks inexperience will be a real problem for next year’s team. 30:50Ed wants to know how we come up with topics and prepare for each podcast. 32:50Ed asks about how we get interviews with famous Duke players and the such, which leads Jason to reveal his wish list of folks he’s trying to get for this off-season. 37:00We say goodbye to Ed and congratulate him again on wining the DBR Bracket Challenge! 37:35Thanks again to the best Duke legal eagles around, Byrd Campbell. 38:10Time to talk about the Duke freshmen turning pro. We address some of the controversy about whether Duke properly used Duval and Trent this past season. 39:50Jason doesn’t understand the criticism here and concludes there is some parental bias at play. 42:25Sam notes the irony that Duke used to be criticized for guys sticking around and is now being criticized for guys leaving too soon… we just can’t win! 47:25Donald says that if these kids want to just have the game built around them, they need to go elsewhere. If they want maximum exposure and a chance to be part of something truly special, they need to go to Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, and the other blue bloods. 49:55Jason analyzes where the Duke freshmen were – in the NBA’s eyes – at the start of the season and where they are now. 53:40Parting shots – Jason talks about “he’s 2 years away from being 2 years away.” 56:50Parting shots – Donald raves about Quinn Cook earning a NBA contract for the World Champs! 59:45Parting shots – Sam reveals where he will attend Business School… AT DUKE!!! 1:05:00Good bye and Duke band Learn more about your ad choices.
