Coach K

Straight out of a non-official's mouth....

"Krzyzewski cries about referees' calls every...single...play."

Annoyingly arrogant Duke, coach :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Rick Morrissey

I can see every.... single..... non-Dook fan sitting there nodding their head up and down while reading this.

Ow, my neck hurts. I think I nodded too quickly as I was reading.

But, I don't hate Duke for making me feel that way.

Hating Duke makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Maybe that's the tacos I had for breakfast this morning.

Some of my favorite lines:

I wish I were on an airplane so I'd have a barf bag.

Calipari leaves a trail of ooze behind him wherever he goes.

Duke annoys the crud out of me.

Krzyzewski cries about referees' calls every ... single ... play. It's as if he's being physically violated.

if the Mountaineers should win, I might even have a skip in my step.


I like this guy's style. Thanks for posting it Jurassic!

Morrissey is hands down the best columnist in Chicago and like his fellow Irish counterpart, Rick Reilly, can turn a phrase. Always a good read in the windy city no matter what the topic.

Rick Reilly has written a couple of absolutely hilarious golf novels. Great read. Of course, when it comes to sports writing, no one can touch Dan Jenkins imo.

Jenkins is right up there, and much more than a sports writer. I don't laugh out loud very often while reading, but Reilly in Who's your Caddy, specifically the John Daley chapter, had me soiling myself.

I hate myself for this but I'm rooting for Duke over West Virginia. If Duke wins then I win my bracket pool at work. I feel entirely too filthy over this situation. I hope Jurassic won't be too mad at me.

Krzyzewski versus Huggins? Hell, I hope neither team wins! Let 'em both forfeit and have MSU and Butler play for the National Championship.

Yup, read that one too. Reilly has a new book out called "Sports From Hell; Search For The World's Dumbest Sports". I think it's about wimmens basketball. Haven't read it yet but I'm looking forward to doing so.

Huggins? I'd like to see Krzyzewski versus Hogan! BTW - continuing off topic, Rowdy Roddy Piper now has a comedy nightclub act and regularly appears at a comedy club here in Portland, which is where he lives.

I love Duke and I love coach K. However, I would draw the line at posting stories about how Coach K affected my life. Granted, we have met several times, but affecting my life.....he is down a ways on my list.
Sure he gets a little 'rat faced' at some calls, so what? Is it his fault or the officials fault for not drawing a line of acceptable behavior. Since most people on this board feel that coaches are nothing more then little kids, you can't blame them for acting that way if no one says they can't. Do you blame the kid for being spoiled or the parents for spoiling them?
Of course, I also am a Bob Knight fan, who mentored Coach K, so at least I come by it honestly. So I will go put on my 'game face' and get ready for the abuse. Just remember, if Duke was horrible, no one would care!!!!
