Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Malone’s the latest pro coach to try his hand at college basketball, just like Belichick did with UNC football.
Duke’s already proven they can beat UNC, and now Malone’s got to learn how to beat them.
It’s the same old story – pros coming in, thinking they can adapt, but it takes time.
Malone’s got a big learning curve ahead of him, and it’s hard to see him succeeding right away.
Original Observation: This is just another case of pros trying to fix college programs, but it rarely works out.
