I am an official just the same as you and call both High School and college ball (juco and the smaller stuff, not D1 though I aspire to get there someday)... so before you jump to conclusions with a "fanboy like you" comment get the facts first. I don't believe the personal attack was warranted. You definately have an opinion about Coach K that is fine...and your follow-up comments about all coached being whinners clarifies things abit for me. I don't agree with him being the worst of the worst is true, that is my opinion. His team gets more exposure than most so this may contribute to the perception, I don't know. However, whatever he is doing is working. Does the coaching profession need to change and show more respect to officials... absolutely. Is Coach K an angel on the sidelines ... not in a long shot (although I do respect what he does off the court). I too have the ability to look at things objectively, from a refs point of view if you will. Coach K made some comments in the media this week (talked about on the Jim Rome Show today)that the fans and media are out to get Duke because of who they are... comments that I feel are out of line and could best be described as whiney. But he is no different from 95% of the other coaches out there.
I recognize that fans come on here and gripe about officials and protect their coaches/ teams often and when recognized the fan boy comments are warranted and they need to take that garbage somewhere else. However, before you make a leap an assume ask first. I have been watching this board for years. My post numbers aren't high but I read alot of what goes on on this board. The "get over it" comment was obviously taken as an attack by you and is the danger with the written word. This is not how I intended it to be taken. I meant it as kinda "what's the big deal" and my body language if speaking to you personally would have probably had a shrug of the shoulders.I have enjoyed your posts in the past and will continue to do so.
