Our "hate" is pretty much limited to his attitude toward officials. He treats them like dirt.

Can you find another D1 head basketball coach that DOESN'T also defend going to school and trying to win? :confused: They ALL pay lip service to that.

Ridiculous statement, Berkut.

Nobody is questioning K's abilities as a coach. A whole bunch of people, and I'm one of them, detest the show that he puts on when he pays lip service to sportsmanship though. Hell, one of his players stomped on another player in an NCAA playoff game and he didn't really do a damn thing about it. He continually tries to influence officials with his constant whining and is a complete potty-mouth also while doing so.

He's a sanctimonius phoney and a whiny hemorrhoid.

Want to know why I call him a "hemmorhoid"? Simple. From an official's standpoint, he's on their azz every minute that they're out there.

And it is too bad that there isn't more Preparation T employed. But, then, of course, their schedules would suffer.

JR, I think Berkut was mocking Dukie K by quoting him.

Here's my dream: Official calls a T on Dukieski, Dukieski calls conference assigner and whines like one of his grandkids, getting that official off his schedule the rest of the season.

FF to NCAA, when John Adams puts the same official on Dukieski's first round game against 16th seeded Drake University, who came out of nowhere to win their conference tourney with a 6-23 record. Official calls a charge against Dukieski's star point guard, wiping off a basket. Dukieski goes crazy because he's been getting away with it all year, and official calls a T with 10 seconds left. Dukieski's team loses by 1.

So, Snaqs, you given this whole Coach K thing much thought?

Bwahahaha! :D

Wow!

And there I was thinking people who use the blue text where being too obvious...

Not really, that was just off the top of my head. :)

Am I right in assuming that any and all of the guys who 'hate' DUKE (and Coach Krzyzewski) would turn back any assignments for DUKE games ?

I realize that there will be responses such as 'you just do your job' or 'you don't think about that', 'professionalism comes into play', etc., but if you went to the trouble of joining this 'hate fest' then that bias will always be just below the surface, waiting to erupt.

To take it a step further, wouldn't the honorable thing to do in any case where you didn't 'respect' a coach to call off working any of their games.

In my years of officiating we could blacklist any coach and / or school; I permanently blacklisted one coach (acquaintance from HS ... never got along) and one HS (sodium lights where I just couldn't see right) for over 10 years.

Easier to avoid trouble rather than confront it.

OFD

Am I right in assuming that you're the same Dook fanboy who showed up here last March also? And you're still complaining about how nasty we are for dumping on your idol? :D

Your posts from last year are still on the record, OldDookFanboyDan. You haven't changed much.

Go find a Dook fanboy site and be sure to tell all your brethren about us mean old weferees. You'll feel so much better if you do that. You ain't an official and you never have been, so quit trying to masquerade as one. You're just your average whiny ol' Dook fanboy.

Go!

Shoo!

Shoo, shoo....

And don't bother to come back next year either.


PS--- FD!

In the days of yore, Old Duke was about 89 cents a bottle. "Whiskey makes you frisky. Wine makes you fine. Old Duke makes you ____."

Sorry, brainiac, I was an active IAABO official in BB up here in NY for 11 years (retired for health reasons); I also officiated softball (ASA) and Soccer.

In fact, I was a member of the same IAABO board as one of the officials from Saturday's semis ... officiated many a game with him. You seem to think you're so damn smart, figure out which one it was.

The one thing that I'm not is a hypocrite like some of you seem to be.

P.S. FU!

OFD

Shoo, fanboy, shoo.......

Lah me.....and 96.74% of 'em are all ex-officials. :rolleyes:

While doing my daily grind on the elliptical, I heard that the owners of the Nets are prepared to offer the rat $12 million - $15 million a year to be coach / GM.

For that kind of stupid money, even King Dook should listen. $75 million over 5 years isn't exactly chump change.

I figured that that would be the response from some moronic loser with no life except an online message board (17,965 posts).

I'd put my ratings record up against yours any day, fool.
