Coach K

[Berkut]

What a martyr, taking this kind of abuse because he defends "going to school" and "trying to win". Poor guy.

Why do people hate schoolgoing win-trying people like poor Coach K?

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? 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.

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.

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.

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