PLUS, its much much harder to win consistently and much more impressive the way coach K does it with such a reduced field of players to recruit
Reduced field of recruits? Any type of top level player that can get into Duke is almost immediately has them on their list. I will give you that Coach K and what he built there is the reason for that, but to say they have a small pool of kids from which to choose is absolutely crazy. There are certainly a lot of talented players that are immediately out of consideration for a scholarship there, but considering the relatively small number of scholarships for the sport, it's not like Duke is hurting to find top level talent to recruit.
