They’re also acting like Ratface didn’t cheat just as much if not more than all the supposedly “dirty” programs.

Fuck propaganda.

Agreed, TV is off and when it is turned on will be for the AZ game.

K could have gone quietly like Wooden, Olson, Dean Smith and others but no, he had to make his grand tour and feed his ego.

If he read these posts he would say, do you know who you are talking to. Yes sir I do ratface and F off

Is Dick Vitale going to be able to show up to jizz 1 more time all over K's face? Or will he have to do that via zoom?

He's not supposed to be doing anything but resting his terrible voice. Hopefully he won't make an exception today.

Did I hear that correct that the Duke Alumni Association honored him by naming a bench after him?

With the loss Duke moved up two spots in the AP rankings and secured a number one seed in the NCAA tournament.

It's absolutely nauseating that K called out his team for losing like that, in that moment. If you're gonna do it, do it in the locker room. Not on the biggest sports stage in the country (yesterday afternoon, at least), with all of his players' families there, in his final fucking moment on that floor as coach. Just a total lack of class and judgment on his part.

IMNSHO, the biggest difference between K, and his mentor, Knight, is that K has had the self control/discretion to keep his temper and profanity mostly private - it rarely slips out liken this, but there have been several, not-well-publicized, accounts over the years....

Trust me, he did it in the locker room, but in much more hostile and degrading terms!!!

He's becoming more like his mentor Bobby Knight every day.

Just needs to throw a chair and grab a player in one of his remaining games to come full circle.

Not gonna miss Coach K. He never had anything like the magnanimous energy of Lute or Wooden or Geno or Dean Smith or Jay Wright or John Thompson. Few has this vibe too. As does his favorite former assistant.

Seriously? Lol...you know, for all of Duke's arrogance, their claim to elite status feels more tenuous than it has in a while. Who knows what kind of coach Scheyer will be? They did lock in one final monster class for '22, but let's see where that program is three years out. Five years out. College hoops programs can have long runs of dominance and then settle into mediocrity. Ask Indiana, ucla, Georgetown, Louisville, et al. You gotta have the right coach, a halfway competent administration, and a program culture that's appealing to players. I wouldn't take it for granted that Scheyer will come out strong out of the gate. We'll see.

I've heard a couple things: assistants claimed Hubert Davis didn't shake hands before the game, although he definitely did shake K's hand. Apparently Duke is also upset that UNC didn't do anything to honor K at Chapel Hill
