It turns out, the coach who continues to vote for Duke in the USA Today Coaches Poll is Wofford head coach Mike Young.
Many members of Big Blue Nation have been speculating that it might be Syracuse head man Jim Boeheim.
Young had this to say in the Chattanooga Times Free Press:
“Well, I know one No. 1 vote Duke got, and that was mine,” said Wofford coach Mike Young, the lone member of USA Today’s 32-member coaches’ poll to side with the Blue Devils. “I know Kentucky is such a remarkable team — so long and so deep. But Duke is just as terrific. I know I’d love to see them play each other in the (NCAA) tournament.”
Wofford faced Duke last week inside the Blue Devils’ Cameron Indoor Stadium, falling 84-55. Afterward, Young told the media, “I was really proud. I can’t say there have been many times in my career when we got our fannies whipped by 29, or whatever it was, and I was proud. My guys stuck it up in there and battled against an obviously very good basketball team that is going to go on to win a lot of games.”
