I really, really, really, REALLY hate Duke. Like, I do not have this much hate for any other person, thing, anything of any kind on the planet. Now, this is probably mostly due to the fact that I am a UNC fan. Or maybe it's because Coach K is a jerk. Regardless of the reason, I hate them. Let's look at their performance in the NCAA tournament for some examples of classic Duke. While they are running over the #16 seed in their section of the bracket (Duke ended up winning 73-44) they play their walk-ons for no more than 2 minutes. 2 of their big 3 (the big 3 being Schyer, Singler, and Smith) Schyer and Smith played 34 and 35 minutes respectively. Now, WHY do you play your starters for that long when you are up by so much? Wouldn't it be smart to let your younger players get in the game and get some playing time? NOPE! That's not how Coach K's mind works. Coach K has to destroy anyone and anything that gets in his way. No.Class.
Another thing that REALLY irks me about Duke and especially Coach K is the reffing in the games. Think about it. Duke always seems to get their way at home, or whenever Coach K opens his mouth on the road. Whenever Coach K gets upset about some calls, he gets all up in the refs face and the calls start to go his way and ONLY his way. It's like they are scared of him. I mean, any other coach argues like that they get T'd up. Coach K does it, and it's like the refs apologizes and then makes up for it for the rest of the game.
Now that they won the tourney, we won't hear the end of it until the end of the tourney next year. Wonderful...and on top of this I have a flat tire hahaha. Today sucks
