    Was it understood anymosity between Duncan and Loren Woods or was it something verbal/physical?
    Loren Woods moved from Wake to AZ because Duncan went to Wake, breakign any chances that he could have played in Wake and played good.

    I understand that.

    What I meant is, did Loren Woods say anything about it, or was it more understood that there was some hostility. A lot of players transfer for better opportunities to display there skills...that doesn't necessarily mean they don't play on the same team down the line in the NBA.

    Why would Loren Woods have any issues staying at Wake Forest because Duncan was there?

    It's not like they would have been competing for playing time. Duncan was long gone from WF by 1997, and Woods, IIRC, didn't leave Arizona until 2001.

    How would their paths have crossed? I'm obviously missing something here if there is a story behind it.

    They were at Wake at the same time (96-97 season) and the following year Loren Woods had a huge breakdown because he couldn't handle being in Duncan's shadow or whatever and had to transfer to AZ.

    He started the 97-98 (his sop re season) at Wake then had some sort of mental breakdown and took a leave of absence from the team. Then came back and ended up transferring (yes Duncan was gone by then).

    He sat out 98-99 and then played two seasons at Arizona.

    I remember watching Loren Woods in college, thinking he would be a of an NBA player.

    The guy had a gift for blocking shots...so much for that.

    during one of loren woods' first practices at wake, he repeatedly tried to out muscle duncan and "pushed him around" played too physical with him for just a practice. td took offense, the two started jawing and teammates defended duncan.

    Yeah there wasn't too much love between them.

    Then when Duncan graduated, Woods broke down (there were rumors he tried to commit suicide that's why he took leave of absence) because he couldn't handle being constantly compared to Tim.

    Interesting comments.

    His favorite players used to be David Robinson and Sheed. Also, when asked about what he learned playing next to Tim Duncan his freshman year he said something like "he's a good player, but I learned everything I know at Arizona and high school". Ouch.
