Coach K

[TussAgee11]

In the interest of ultimate fairness, it seems like the problem you all have with K is not necessarily with K himself. Lots of coaches do what he does on the sidelines. Almost all do. So that alone doesn't fuel all this.

What does is the perception the MEDIA gives. The media has two positions on Duke that are in stark contrast. One is the Dickie V/ESPN cooperate office talk that hypes Duke to increase revenue. The other is local reporters in every city Duke goes to/ESPN hired analysts who used to be involved in college basketball and hence hate Duke. These people will take any chance they get to tell you how either Duke is lucky, Duke has it easy, Duke gets the calls, Duke isn't that good, etc. etc. etc.

Alot of the hate from the fans on Duke comes from reading that 2nd group like gospel, and another portion comes to it in rejection of the first. Neither of which is an interpretation on Duke the school, K the coach, his program, or any of the kids.

In most of the cases I've read on here, its despising the media for making Duke out to be something that you all believe it not to be. If it were just about Duke, you could find another, at least, 100 programs that engages in similar behavior and about another 200 D1 coaches.

In the interest of truth, that is a load of nonsense. And you very obviously may have been reading what we are saying but you sureasheck aren't comprehending what we're saying.

The problem that we have with K is his actions towards officials. He is the absolute worst D1 coach extant about whining and b!tching at every single damn call or no-call that he thinks should go in his favor.

Yes, there are some other coaches that also spend more of their time trying to influence officials than coaching, but he is he worst by far of that bunch. And his actions are exacaberated by the holier-than-thou stance that his devoted fans like to portray him with. His complete lack of concern about sportsmanship when it comes to the officials is also obvious to US officials.

I don't think that any of us gives a damn what the media thinks about him. We evalute him from an officials' standpoint only. And from an officials' stanpoint, he's a whiny, constantly complaining hemmorhoid who is always trying to influence our calls.

It's that freaking simple!

Tuss, you're a baseball umpire. Think Leo Durocher back in the day. Billy Martin at his finest. Think Bobby Cox now. Hall of Fame managers but also whiny, b!tching hemorrhoids.

.

From the great movie Napolean Dynamite "You can't possibly know that"
Have you SEEN every other D1 official in the country? I have seen a few that IMO are worse than Coach K.
Having said that I think the Butler coach is a class act. Of course I am sure the Duke haters on this board will think that Coach K was being sarcastic an insincere in his praise of Butler's coach and team.

As a Duke hater, I'll answer, "Not at all."

The only thing more annoying than K's whining and b!tching at the officials is your constant whining and b!tching about Coach K.

Seriously, we all get it. You don't like him. Big whoop.

Is there any particular reason that you chose me instead of one of the other numerous posters here that also continually whine and b!tch about Coach K?

I get it too.

Gee, I dunno, maybe because you started the thread?????

Not to mention the fact that you posted 17 times within your Coach K bashing thread, four more than the second highest poster within the thread?

It's no secret that you're the resident Coach K basher here. It just gets awful old after a while.

I get it too.

I actually do like you, JR. When you're offering sage advice and clarifying rules questions. Not when you're ranting and raving like a nursing home patient off his meds.

And when you're done ranting and raving like a nursing home patient off his meds about me, maybe you too could try offering some sage advice and clarifying rules questions also....for a change.

Seems like you're aspiring to be the resident JR basher here. Join the group. Hell, I've got to admire you for taking the time to count up the number of posts that I've made in this thread. That shows real dedication. Unfortunately though, and I hate to have to break it to ya, but JR really don't give a sh!t one way or t'other.

LOL. I didn't have to count. The board does it for me. All I have to do is click a button.

Right. I sure believe that!

There's a group? Is it "The He-Man Jurassic Referee Haters Club"? Where do I sign up? How much are the dues? Is there a pledge? Is there a secret handshake? Decoder rings?
