For as bad as Coach K is on the court - and I do recognize this - I cannot EVER remember him blaming a loss, or a losing streak, on the officials.

The conversation at hand has nothing to do with in-game behavior. It has to do with the contention that Coach K whines to the media about officials. I think that's patently false.

Who did Coach K blame for the 4-game skid his team went on recently? Certainly not the refs.

Fine. After the game is over, he's an angel. During a game, he's worse than Knight imo when it comes to whining and crying. Stick up for him, being the good Dookie fanboy that you are.. ..just don't try to intimate that he's a beacon of sportsmanship. He's a good coach, but he's also a world-class whiner. Jmo, and I ain't a fan of any other team in his league either. I'm just a fan of officials.

Where did I intimate that he is a beacon of sportsmanship?

Just so we understand eachother.

I don't think Knight was "blaming" officials for a loss. I think he was making a point that he didn't feel the officials had their A game because of their schedule.

I never feel it is wrong to talk reality about hiring. Race, gender, social economic statuses are never wrong to talk about when it comes to issues like this. If you hire newer officials to a conference based on what Bobby Knight wants to be accomplished, you will have to consider these factors into that. If you go to any college camp this is discussed rather openly or honestly, not sure why we cannot discuss it here. I guess we still live in a society that wants to stick their head in the sand about these issues.

Good Point!
