Great observation. Because before Tuesday's game and that halftime interview I had never heard anyone whine that Duke flops. Yeah, I'm sure the refs have never heard that before either.

Duke basketball hasn't been a flop in the record books -- the Blue Devils won the NCAA tournament in 2001 and made the Final Four in 2004. But the Blue Devils have been a flop on the court in the most literal sense possible. This is the decade in which the word "flop" became synonymous with Duke hoopsters' overzealous attempts to draw offensive fouls. The technique drew national ire first with Shane Battier in the early part of the decade, then J.J. Redick came along with his "offensive flop," in which he kicks his legs out on a jump shot. But even Redick had to make way for the master, Greg Paulus (pictured).

Exactly. They've gotten away with it for so long. A little preaching from Calishady is not going to make any difference.

Dook flops and the stats bear that out. It is what weak coaches with weak defenses do.

Dook named #1 in the top 10 flops of the 2000's.
