Last year, I met my neice's new father in law, a former D1 official from North Carolina. These were, almost word for word, his discription of Coach K.

Jurassic,

I found my poll right under my Census Form in a pile of mail on my counter this morning and sent it in. So, I expect this number to jump .01%.

To name drop, one of the times I was in Coach K's presence he had a great line. During a mixer he was relating a story about a mother of a player he was recruiting. She had heard that he was a good catholic boy and wanted to make sure that it was an accurate description. When he said he attended mass and all the other things good Catholics do, she was so excited that she said I can't wait to see him in heaven. He then went on to tell her he would be easy to recognize b/c he would be the person with no left hand. When she asked why he said because it is the hand he used to cover his mouth when he mumbles all of those words that good Catholics don't use!! It was more funny with his visual, but unfortunately, and this was on CLEAR display against Maryland, he has forgotten to cover his mouth when uttering those words good Catholics don't say. Hey, maybe I SHOULD write something on his web page!!

I do not - and never have - appreciated Coach K's sideline antics and attitude during the game. But the guy has proven that he can coach - and he wins by recruiting players that fit his program and his school. The thing that amazes me the most is that he has been at the same school for over 30 years! In this day and age, that is almost enough to make my jaw drop.
