I agree that he is a great coach.Probably one of the best of all time. Unfortunately, he combines that with a real propensity to constantly whine at officials. I respect the job that he does with his players. From an official's standpoint however, I have no respect at all for his behavior towards us. During a game, it's almost like he spends more time trying to work the officials than he does actually coaching. I think that we're seeing some of the results of behavior like his right now on this forum. Fanboys see him plying his act along the sideline, and they say "Hey,Coach K is hollering at the refs. They gotta be terrible. I gotta find me an officials' forum and give all of 'em sh*t". And then here they come! Jmo.
Also, unfortunately, he isn't the only coach like that by far. It's almost accepted as normal behavior any more.
