Jason Zengerle looks at Duke's performance...

But, in the past few years, I'd really come to depend on Duke losing in the Sweet 16. For four out of five seasons between 2001 and 2006, that's exactly what Duke did. In fact, Duke's Sweet 16 exit was something I greatly looked forward to each tournament: a prime-time game on a Thursday or a Friday night; an ashen-faced Coach K slouching off the court after a humiliating upset defeat; little children in J.J. Redick jerseys crying in the stands. Ah, bliss!

...and finds a way to improve the NCAA tournament.

Until Dook junks the K tradition
and the "cult of personality" that has grown to suffocate the program, they will never, ever, get past the Sweet 16 again. If Dawkins takes over the program when K finally chokes on the fumes from his hair dye and retires to lecture on business ethics, the program will continue to sink under the weight of K's hothouse ego.

Dawkins, Amaker, and Snyder. A tradition of mediocrity. Hell, they'd be better off hiring Herb Sendek to replace K.
