When the bully comes to town, and constantly beats you down, eventually U have to fight back. The mighty Duke basketball team has been the ACC's big bully for a long, long time.
But on Wednesday night, Miami finally decided to fight back and gave the bully a taste of its own medicine. The Hurricanes opened one man-sized can of whoop ass and in a epic beat down of major proportions just totally trashed Duke by 27 points: Miami 90, Duke 63.
With a steady roar coming from the sea of orange and green behind the visitors' basket, No. 1-ranked Duke had a tough time making a shot.
The Blue Devils went more than 8 minutes without a field goal in the first half Wednesday night, and a sellout became a blowout for No. 25 Miami, which delighted a boisterous crowd with a 90-63 victory.
The defeat was the third-worst ever for a No. 1 team, and Duke's worst in nearly five years.
Durand Scott scored a season-high 25 points for the Hurricanes, and Kenny Kadji added a season-high 22. Shane Larkin had 18 points, 10 rebounds and five assists, and Durham, N.C. native Julian Gamble had 10 rebounds and four blocked shots.
Miami (14-3, 5-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) beat a No. 1 team for the first time, taking control with a stunning 25-1 run midway through the opening half. The Blue Devils missed 13 consecutive shots despite numerous good looks, while four Hurricanes hit 3-pointers during the run that transformed a 14-13 deficit into a 38-15 lead.
The bottom line is that on Wednesday night, the #25 ranked University of Miami men's basketball team completely dominated #1 ranked Duke.
Yeah,I see that smile on your face.

What a great day and night for Miami..and we didnt get a football win, hire a coach or gain a commit lol....when I got home from Church and turned on the tv there was 6 mins left...I seriously thought they had the score backwards or my tv was fuzzy etc..was happily shocked! I think it did wonders for out recruits. They visit the beautiful campus..they see its AWAY from some of the rough areas they are use to in Miami..all the excitement..and the fans showing love...oh and be BEAT DOWN the #1 team for the first time in Miami history! I got chills hearing the crowd saying "Its Great To Be A Mi-Am-Mi Hurricane"!!!

The letter that Shasha sent is inexcusable - perhaps she could resign and go work for Emmert
Posted by: CGNC | January 24, 2013 at 06:58 AM
Respectfully, I couldn't disagree more. There is a big difference between what you say publicly and what you say privately. The letter was just perfect and hit just the right tone. In public, you portray a frustrated and appropriately angry but civil tone. A sophisticated political operative like Shalala knows exactly what she's doing. Let the NCAA bleed out. I'm sure behind the scenes Thorpe conversations are stronger.

LOL! Jimbo nervous!
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | January 24, 2013 at 08:58 AM
Jimbo knows that if Coley leaves FSU for Miami..and the addition of Mario, South Florida will be on LOCK!...Also..I am perectly fine with what DS said.
Posted by: UMike | January 24, 2013 at 09:01 AM
LB, not only that, but the NCAA is still writing the NOA. Why would you provoke them now in public? Dona's approach in this case is exactly right, just enough calm outrage, no matter what you think of her and her politics. The letter was perfect.
Posted by: Canesfan_1 | January 24, 2013 at 09:04 AM
DS basically placed the ball in the NCAA's court in public while at the same time calling them out. She let everyone know that Miami has been going above and beyond while the NCAA was playing dirty. Donna didnt have to say much, this is all over ESPN and everyone is talking about the NCAA NOT Miami lol

Well ya, we pushed him out. Just saying they didn't even start recruiting him till way after us. Golden's "crappy 3* kids", ya know.
PS Spacers - Do NOT be surprised if James Coley is our next OC. No lock of course, but I see it happening reading the writing on the wall.
IF he does accept the job, we may actually get 90% of the FSWho/UM recruiting battles that are on the fence.
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | January 24, 2013 at 09:14 AM
Ohio..I think when a coach is "Mulling" a decision, they tend to stay..imo..Jimbo will give him the play calling duties and the school will give him a raise..imo..I have no clue how good of an OC he is, but he is an awesome recruiter and would give us a powerhouse recruiting team in south florida.
On Kerr..the writing was on the wall any way..and we need defensive help and have big fish on the line lol

Yeah, that's my opinion too, sounds like a win-win for Coley.
But at the same time, Coley has to ponder which HC would give Him a longer leash for His learning curve, and that's where I think we have an advantage.
Posted by: CaneRock | January 24, 2013 at 09:30 AM
Jermaine Grace should be announcing next week.
Again, no, he's not undecided. He made up his mind. They're having a hard time getting TV time so he can have his moment.
Wonder if he got his U hat back from AQM for the announcement?
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | January 24, 2013 at 09:31 AM
Thursday update: FSU believes Coley is leaving; NCAA/UM fallout
Thursday morning update: FSU believes offensive coordinator James Coley is leaving for UM. An announcement could come today, but there's nothing official yet.
FSU agreed to match - but not surpass - UM's $500,000 offer. But FSU would not allow him to call plays; Fisher enjoys doing that himself.
At UM, Coley will run the offense and call plays. He has called plays only one season in his life - for a talent-deficient FIU team that finished 1-11.
Coley, a Miami High graduate, also likes the idea of returning home to Miami, where he has family.
Coley's move also could help UM in recruiting.

He's had only one stint as a true offensive coordinator (since it's universally agreed that Jimbo runs the show at FSSpew). The stats aren't that great, honestly...

A few things, IMO:

2 - Jimbo obviously thinks this guy can be big time by swallowing his ego and giving up play-calling to keep him. No, he's not just doing it so he doesn't come to UM.
3 - His one year at FIU was completely talent-depleted. Check out that roster.

Posted by: Canesfan_1 | January 24, 2013 at 08:49 AM
This. Shalala was for eight years the HHS secretary for Bill Clinton. She knows a thing or two about being harassed by politically-motivated witch-hunts.
Somebody pointed out, at the tail end of this last thread, that all the coaches who left now have reputations in tatters, the NCAA's rep is ruined, and Miami has consistently managed to look responsible (at least in the Shapiro aftermath). None of this is an accident. Shalala knows how to win at the game of bureacratic infighting.
The Coen brothers made a terrific gangster movie, Miller's Crossing, where Gabriel Byrne's consiglieri character pulls a similar job on a rival mob. Worth checking out, for sure -- as good a gangster movie as there is.
I still wish Shalala would just let 'Canes football be 'Canes football. But the job she just pulled on the NCAA is simply jaw-droppingly ruthless. Those shiv wounds might never heal properly.

Remember that in 2009, Fisch was the University of Minnesota's offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach, and his offense up there horrible, ranked 100 in total offense. The QB rating was very low and the Gophers were 6-7. Golden knew what he was doing and brought him in as OC two years ago. After two years developing QBs (Jacory and Morris), Fisch is now an OC in the NFL.
I think Golden was a plan and he knows what he is doing.

Ok. Last night was amazing. The day after, here's what's on my mind about the hoops team.
WTF are they going to do next year???
Bishop Daniels left the team. Johnson, Kadji, Gamble, Scott & McKinney-Jones are all seniors & will be gone.
The returning players are:
PG Shane Larkin JR
SG Rion Brown SR
G/F Garrius Adams SR(out for the year & probably will get a redshirt)
SF Eric Swoops SR
PF Rafael Akpejiori SR
C Tonye Jekiri SO
That's only 6 scholarship players returning. That means Larranaga needs 6 recruits. He only has 2 so far. They are:
6'6 G/F Javon Reed
6'2 G Deandre Burnette
As of now, Larkin & Brown are going to have drop 20 points per game each for them to be formidable next year...
Where is he going to get 4 more quality recruits from this late in the hoops recruiting season???
Posted by: CoCane | January 24, 2013 at 11:56 AM

So did Coley leave FIU to go to FSU or was he asked to leave? Just seeing if anyone knows the relationship with Super Mario? I Am guessing it was good since they'll be working together again, but isn't he "Coley" being the OC and Mario being the T.E. coach a demotion in a sense for Mario? Or does the Assistant Head Coach title cover that? I'm confused! Happy, but confused!

So, sure: the NCAA looks really bad here.
But the person who's really, really screwed here seems to be Shapiro's lawyer. Taking fees from two clients with actual conflicting interests is an ethical conflict that neither client can waive. Maybe (maybe!) the interests of Nevin Shapiro's bankruptcy estate were not in actual conflict with the NCAA's interests, because the NCAA has no enforcement power over Shapiro. But still, the lawyer needs to be really, really careful to get informed consent in this kind of situation from both clients.
I won't be surprised to read of disciplinary action in Ms. Perez's future.

Didn't it say somewhere in one of the articles that Perez also brought NCAA goons along when doing a deposition on the bankruptcy case? I can't even begin to name what that crime is...Fraud? Abuse of privileges? Misrepresentation?
I am sure the Bar is going to come down hard on an lawyer who is involved in that shenanigan!

Where in the world is 86 during this madness!?!? LOL
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | January 24, 2013 at 01:38 PM
86 is probably on the road eating barbecue and boiled peanuts in some Godforsaken place like Waldo.

CGNC,
I think people got letters from DS mixed up. You are talking about the letter she sent to the former players right? They are talking about the letter she sent to the ncaa

Great news about Coley. I'd love to know the other person who was offered the job. Probably the next OC at FSU

Skool, sounds like it was McDonald

1 - I honestly didn't know the other. Only knew Coley, but that there were 2 left in the running.
2 - Wouldn't surprise me lol
Posted by: Ohio_Cane | January 24, 2013 at 01:54 PM
Guys when i said Coley i meant James Coley... lmao ;-).....

Coke, Jekiri looks like he's going to be pretty good, love his defensive awareness right now as a freshman, he always sees both ball and his man down there and he is very active for a 7 footer with his feet.
As for the 6 scollys, a few are probably NCAA casualties, Pee Wee testimony thrown out by the NCAA or not, and then from there, we're just going to have to trust The Pimp to find some quality additions to his rotation and keep coaching at the top of the profession to cover the inexperience under his purview. I know he picked up a highly regarded verbal a few weeks ago from what I want to say was a shooting guard, but I'm too lazy to go search for it since I'm still savoring that awesome moment where you finally stand up the neighborhood bully, kick him in the nuts, punch him in the face 27 times in a row, drop him to the pavement with a broken nose and bloody lip, spit on him and tell him things are going to be different around here from now between me and you, or else it'll be worse next time while he watches his own blood stream to the ground.
It's so satisfying a moment that not even a greenhorn, underachieving OC hire to replace the best one UM's had since Chud can't dull my shine today! Hope we're all ready for a lot of shotgun speed option calls on 3rd and 4 or less everybody!

I haven't posted in a while under my old handle (MattInNY) and I needed to switch it up.
Great, great news on Coley! This is an outstanding hire.
How is this going to effect Kirkland and the other Coley?

Posted by: calGary Cane | January 24, 2013 at 01:36 PM
Yeah, I read that an NCAA guy was sitting in the depo, Sean Allan asked to have the guy shown out, he was, and Perez then proceeded to ask Allan a whole lot of questions about NCAA-related stuff having nothing to do with the bankruptcy.
I think the basic contours of what Allan said in that depo have been known for a while, but AFAIK, the information that the NCAA PAID her to ask all these questions was new.
Certainly, failing to disclose to the depo's attendees that she was representing Shapiro's bankruptcy estate AND the NCAA would be very bad form. Whether it rises to the level of fraud, I dunno. Maybe. There's probably federal case law on stuff like that which Im unfamiliar with.
