Coach K Whines About State Of College Basketball...

[DeltaV]

Coach K's master plan of destroying the Big East has turned out to be a complete failure. And that makes him sad. And now he's stuck playing in front of small crowds in snoozeville at Boston College and Pitt, and the half filled Carrier Dome.

The guy is a complete douche.

I mean, I agree he's kinda douchey...but was K a driving force behind dissecting the Big East? I always thought it was ESPN. I mean, yeah, the ACC gets more money now that big east football is out of the picture, and they can try to claim NY and PA eyes, but this is the first I've heard the divorce blamed on him.

I worded my statement incorrectly. Coach K enthusiastically supported the ACC grabbing Big East teams. He was a big cheerleader when it happened.

The Syracuse and Pitt poachings were announced late on a Friday or early on a Saturday, literally within hours of the passing of Dave Gavitt.

That same weekend, instead of honoring Gavitt's memory by giving basic respectful comments and/or shutting TF up like every other ACC coach, m-f'er Coach K crowed about how the ACC tourney would be moved to MSG and the ACC would take over NYC-- completely spitting in the face of Gavitt. F him.

Coach K is like Mr Magoo, except if Mr Magoo was an asshole and a hypocrite [see Calipari comments by another poster above]. And to top it off, he's a disciple of Bobby Knight.

Also of note, sort of... but maybe is a reason for Coach K's dislike of our conference... thru the Sept 2011 announcement that Pitt and Syracuse were being poached, in the previous 10 NCAA matchups between Duke and any Big East team... Duke was 2-8 in those games... going from memory here... but basically from 1997 thru 2011, that's 15 years... Duke won 2 championships and got bounced in 13 tourneys... of those 13 times, 8 of them were from being bounced by a Big East team. That sounds too unbelievable so i may have to double check that...

Ok, good to know. I guess that does make sense...he's always seemed to have a hard-on for MSG.
