Coach K cries foul regarding conference realignment

[TRest]

Now that the ACC has lost a team, he is appalled college athletics is heading in this direction. Maybe he should refuse to play Pitt, Cuse, Miami, and VTech on general principal. BC, as always, doesn't matter.

Not only did the ACC lose a team, what would Duke be without UNC? Hmmm... something there?

agree


maybe coack k should run into the next acc meeting of presidents, slide in fron of swofford giving a powerpoint a second late and get a charge call. it seems to work for duke on the court so why not try that in CR.

If conference realignment is the Third Reich, then the ACC is Hitler.

But here's the duck*ing thing....Maryland was only "in the middle of the ACC" because the ACC had an addiction to the cash they were getting from raping the Big East. Maryland used to be the northern outlier. K didn't like the first round of expansion that took Miami and Tech and hasn't liked it since...

But from where we sit, I find it really hard to feel bad for him. Duke's not sending the checks back.

When your likes exceed your post count does the board refund any of your membership fee?

Here's my take:

1. Tradition. Yep, rivalries can be built, but it takes time and geography
2. Honesty. This would be a Maryland issue.
3. Loyalty. Perhaps this is a little too much to expect.

Mike Krzyzewski, Duke University

What upsets me about realignment is that there’s not a goal. If somebody were running college athletics, you’d have a vision for an end. There’s not a vision for an end.

Nothing against the president or chancellor making the decision to change conferences, but they probably don’t understand what’s been there before them. They don’t feel it, and they won’t be there long enough to understand the negative about that in the future. That’s sad.

For Maryland to leave the ACC — they were here for 60 years. I don’t know what price they’ll pay. … For a school having financial problems, we as a conference should try to help in that regard. That’s what you’re in a conference for, to help one another.

Everyone says our conference is solid. Well, they said that before Maryland left.

When a move is made, you don’t just look at throwing a rock into a lake and seeing the splash. You want to pay attention to the ripples. We’re not paying attention to the ripples, and that’s wrong. It’s irresponsible, really, for the total of college sports. We’re just throwing the rocks.

Hard to take him seriously when he doesn't call his own conference out on the floor as one of the biggest villains in conference realignment.

The ACC has literally destroyed the Big East. yet he doesn't have the balls to call out his own conference as a main instigator in all this movement that he is now bitching about.

he doesn't call out his own conf because he is stuck in it.

 

[RMoore1999]

he doesn't call out his own conf because he is stuck in it.

And he knows Unc and the others will at some point be departing leaving Duke to play with Wake and bc.

This guy is the definition of a rat bastard


Coach K on Syrapitt addition:
"I'm proud of the leadership of our conference to be ahead of things," Krzyzewski said. "We're in a period of change. Whether everyone agrees with it or doesn't agree with it -- change is happening. It's not a revolution, it's evolution. These things are happening."

"It's actually pretty exciting," Mike Krzyzewski said regarding the prospect of playing these two teams yearly. "I think it's great for our conference football-wise, even better basketball-wise."

Yep, he was against the first expansion, moaning about not being good neighbors, etc. He was giddy about the Pitt/Cuse one, and asked about going to 16 teams. I think he just desires 2 divisions of 8 so all the new guys can be separate from the real ACC. I also think he perceives Louisville as a bigger threat than any of the other new adds.

 

[noeynox]

Haha. Thanks for posting that specialist. Pure comedy gold right there. Only way to interpret that is that Pitt and SU, couldn't wait to join the acc while UMD was basically kidnapped against their will at midnight by the B1G. K is a clown for the double standard.

 

[ZooCougar]

I don't like him, but he is right.

 

[RS9999X]

Coach K knows if the Big 12 and SEC and BiG consolidate FFootball than further than Duke is left out.

I don't like him, but he is right.

I don't know zoo, he seems to be talking out of both sides of his mouth. He welcomes the additions of Pitt and Cuse but losing Maryland is hurting "traditions". Fluck his stupid jazz.

What is he going to do? He has been animate from the very first raid that this is bad for college basketball. He even said after they had UM, BC, and VT that he'd prefer to go back to 9.

If he could, he'd take back Maryland, throw out all the BE, and probably through out FSU. But he can't. And adding Pitt and Syracuse (and Louisville) at least doesn't destroy the basketball side of things, as BC, VT, and UM seem to have done.

The Syrapitt comments seem dated. I think the bigger picture has changed. The Syrapitt comments, were also political.

Which only adds to how self serving his current boo hooing is. It was all fun and games until the B1G went off and picked off an acc team. Then it got real TO HIM. He is a clown on this one.
