So huge tip of the cap to all three of those Dukies who are just bringing in a whole mess of hardware.
By the way, so I misspoke and said Carlos instead of Cameron Boozer.
You misspoke and said that John Shire won Player of the Year.
You meant to say Coach of the Year.
Right, right, right.
Let's get to some other stuff.
I want to reflect really quick.
This won't take very long, but Caden Boozer, there was an article that talked about the fact that
that in the wake of the the Dukes lost to UConn, where Caden Boozer had that final turnover, that Caden Boozer has been getting unbelievable, horrible online abuse.
Much of it's coming from gamblers, you can sort of tell by the nature of the messages.
And and the NCAA has been really, really working on this that gambling has gotten gambling on college games, especially college props and things like that how many points and rebounds assists a player will get.
all kinds of other gambling on college games has, has grown exponentially in recent years.
And as a result, the, the, there are people out there who, who just go online and, and criticize, you know, get mad at a player if he doesn't get enough points or if he,
if a team doesn't cover or whatever else it may be.
So a lot of what Caden's getting is gambler abuse.
And a lot of it, I think, is just regular trolls, people who have nothing better to do with their time than be jerks.
And jerks is a very tame word.
But I'm certain, even though this article didn't talk about it extensively, I'm certain because, Donald, frankly, you and I have seen and heard some of the โ
some of the abuse from Duke fans who are mad at Caden.
