Goodbye to you....Coach K

[Hurleyman216]

That’s the stat TBS showed. Makes no sense now that I think about it…

This was his 13th final four and he won 5 I believe which means he had 8 losses in the FF…not such a stellar record.

 

[Plebe]

Are you saying that K at Duke was 9-4 in final fours? He had four final four losses (86, 88, 89, 90) before his first national title.

That’s the stat TBS showed. Makes no sense now that I think about it…

I think they mean 9-4 in national semifinals.

He reached the Final Four 13 times. Five of those resulted in national titles; four times he finished runner-up; and four times he lost in the semis.

Dillon Brooks should lecture him tonight

 

[Hurleyman216]

These last two losses to UNC are gonna sting Dookie Nation for a long, long time. Just awful to lose to your archrival in those situations, especially blowing the chance for payback in the Final Four and doubling down - nah, tripling down - on the faceplant.

What will sting even more is when they are irrelevant in 2-3 years and ranked outside of the top 25. It’s coming because I can tell you one thing…Scheyer ain’t “the guy”

 

[Icehawk]

Something poetic about his first coaching loss being to UNC, his last regular season loss being to UNC, and his last NCAA loss being to... UNC again.

 

[superjohn]

That means any one of us could probably be able to get them to the tourney, and we never coached. Hurley is begging for a portal point guard.

We heard you the first time.

 

[LIuconn]

So did duke players really not shake hands after the loss? Stay classy

 

[BigFanCT]

Thanks for the titles.

 

[temery]

Oh, pretty sure CBS will not let him fade away, they’ll push him in our faces as often and as long as they can. Expect a ‘K Retrospective’ Monday night.

That's been the source of the hatred toward Coach K. There was always a wide gap between the fawning attention he received, and the attention he deserved.

He was a great coach. Easily one of the best. But it was annoying to hear announcers singing his praises when watching a game not involving Duke.

What makes you so sure Scheyer isn’t the guy? Is it because the guy that follow the legend usually has a tough time?

 

[eebmg]

Too busy. Need to call their agents to see how this affects their NBA draft status

It's still Duke. The networks and the agents gravitate around them.

 

[nomar]

Kinda pissed he kept it classy there

 

[UConnMike04]

I think they mean 9-4 in national semifinals.

He reached the Final Four 13 times. Five of those resulted in national titles; four times he finished runner-up; and four times he lost in the semis.

That makes sense.

Duke board is a pretty fun read right now with Duke fans admitting UNC owns them forever and UConn is still in their heads.

Do you have a link to the UConn comments? I want to read the salt lol

 

[uconngb]

The Scheyer era is going to be a glorious disaster. This guy is such a dweeb

Lol

 

[uconngb]

Stay classy Dook

 

[aburks41]

Omg their board is in full meltdown mode. There is a hilarious mod message that someone just got banned for “repeatedly wishing death upon others” hahahahah

 

[uconngb]

Has anyone checked on Dookie V?? I’m worried

 

[aburks41]

I’m not defending them or Duke, but they shouldn’t have to wait around for UNC players and coaches to stop celebrating just to shake their hand.

I’d walk off right the court after a loss like that too. But I do have to admit I am a bit of a sore loser haha

 

[LIuconn]

^ good point

 

[uconngb]

Because they didn’t get every call???? Whaaaahhhhh

They were complaining about the fouls in the 2004 semi-final.

 

[uconngb]

They were complaining about the fouls in the 2004 semi-final.

Lolololol

 

[aburks41]

They were complaining about the fouls in the 2004 semi-final.

Which is ironic considering Emeka sat for 16 minutes in the first half because of 2 awful fouls
