I get what you're saying. But Duke was getting shit for being a two seed instead of a three and most people (by a large margin) agreed. Now you're making it out like everyone expected Duke to be in the FF and if not it was going to be an epic failure by K. So was it the biggest shock ever? No. But it still took good coaching to get this team to play with a purpose and the things they have improved on in such a short period of time doesn't just happen because of talent. So on the flip side of you not wanting to hear how impressive it is for K to get this team to the FF, you don't want to give enough credit.
