Left is not accurate, maybe what G says but the coach and his kids were kicked off the team and that started defection of 2023 players this year. The players really liked the coach and he was the best thing about the team, it was the last straw that broke when parents and players said enough of this and left to play on better local travel team. Ask G about it and see what he says and let the community know if he is full of baloney....


I don't think the original poster was going into why the coach left, just that he is no longer with Duke's. And yes, he is a pretty good coach and the kids do seem to like him. I've overheard the interactions he has with his Freedom team and am impressed with how he guides the kids during games and motivates them to do their best.

Duke's has their share of drama. You can either focus on that or on the positives of the program. Just remember not everyone sees it in a negative light.
