I don't think that any of us has any real dislike for Duke per se. It is kinda fun though to poke all of the precious l'il Dookie fans and listen to 'em squaller though. It's kind of an annual rite of passage here, also used on BoSox and Cubbie fans(you know who you are).

Seriously, you are correct in thinking that my opinion definitely does come from an officiating standpoint. I have never met or talked with Krzyzewski, so it is really impossible for me to form any kind of rational opinion about him as a person outside of his sideline behavior. A good analogy might be to compare Coach K with Earl Weaver. Weaver was recognized as a great manager and is rightfully in the Beisbol Hall of Fame. However, he was universally detested by ALL of the umpires that had to deal with him during games. And those umpires detested Weaver for the exact same reasons that basketball officials detest K. Weaver whined, b!tched and complained constantly, always looking for that little edge. Krzyzewski is the basketball equivalent. They're both whiny l'il hemorrhoids from an officiating standpoint.

Hey, Krzyzewski might be the re-incarnation of St. Theresa, except I can't see St. Theresa b!tching if the miracles aren't going her way.
