Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 4524700, member: 3850"] Naw....Duke basketball is what it is....and they have a rep. Coach K after winning his last tournament.... [I]“There was no crowd when guys were warming up,” Krzyzewski said, [URL='https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/33541932/duke-mike-krzyzewski-expresses-displeasure-slippery-court-late-arriving-crowd']via ESPN[/URL]. “And that damn floor was slippery on both ends.”[/I] And sometimes we ACC Duke's opponent fans often share the sentiment of the UNC homey Greensborough News and Record...when Coach K whined about the demeanor of a UNC basketball player after a Duke defeat. [I]Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski's derogatory comments about UNC player Makhtar Ndiaye's postgame behavior following Carolina's ACC Tournament championship victory over Duke deserve some analysis and comment.If Krzyzewski's description of Ndiaye's taunting the Duke fans was accurate, the coach was correct when he stated (in his own way) that poor sportsmanship detracts from the celebration of victory. Everyone associated with sports needs to hear that message more. The message is sound, the credibility of Krzyzewski as the messenger is, unfortunately, not. For years, Duke's Cameron Crazies have been patronized by fans and media alike with a wry smile, a wink and a nod. However, anyone that has ever attended a basketball game at Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium knows that television cannot even do justice to the constant disgusting, profane, even vulgar atmosphere that often prevails. Krzyzewski's comments and many more could accurately describe the demeanor that accompanies virtually every Duke home game against a rival, which Krzyewski has praised and encouraged since his arrival at Duke almost 20 years ago.[/I] I don't have a problem beyond having a small endorphin tingle when a rival's known whining gets spotlighted.
