That's hilarious. I'm all for giving K his props when it comes to his entire career, but the dude has been past the S16 TWICE in the last decade. He won the title in 2010 and was blown out in the E8 in 2013. Those were the only times he's even gotten to the E8 in A DECADE. Amuses me how this is never brought up.

Keep in mind- they've been seeded 1/2 just about every time, too.

In comparison to Cal, Cal will never rid himself of all the bad accusations because the media won't allow it.

So since K has won titles and is an Olympic gold coach, there is no way he will ever tarnish that reputation. And its simply wrong because he never has anything to do with what goes wrong at Duke. He is never able to talk about anything.

I wouldn't want K tracking down Nicole Brown Simpson's killer.

But the best coach in the country NEVER loses to Lehigh and Mercer in back-2-back years. Simply no excuse and no one is putting that out there.

WTH is Athlon Best CBB Coach Poll. Is that one they just came up with, and furthermore, who cares. We're #1 and they ain't.

65 votes to ZERO.

100% agree... too bad that didn't happen to coach K.
