There's been a lot of talk about Coach K recently, for obvious reasons. Most of that talk has been negative. I feel like the pendulum was all the way to the good 30 years ago, has now swung all the way to the bad, and is now due to swing back to the good again. Stated another way, I think a lot of the gripes are sour grapes. Thoughts?

Never liked the guy, over rated imo.

no doubt a lot of it is sour grapes. He has had so much success and when that happens people naturally go against him.

He is a great coach.

Fuck Duke, don’t really care about Coach K, but fuck him by association.

Just as dirty as the rest of them.

He’s a complete and utter jackass. The fact that he’s a good coach doesn’t change that.

Dont like Duke and don't like him.

I heard he doesn’t use his pronouns correctly

A lot of respect for his coaching ability but was never a Duke or Coach K fan. Definitely looking forward to seeing Scheyer take the reins.

This and even Bernsie has the stories of his being an asshole. If Knight was t around to distract in the first 2/3 of his career people would have seen.

I’m inclined to dislike him, but Bernstein’s melodramatic hatred for the guy pushes me back over to the ‘like’ side of the ledger.

Bernstein's stories amounted to him not giving ice cream to reporters or something like that.

He's not as dirty as Bruce Pearl.

Pretty sure his story was K set up a social with ice cream for media and he just used it to complain how they were covering the team.

What a fucking monster .

He won me quite a bit of money last night. And I think he’s going to win me more money Saturday.

He's a fraud and a complete piece of shit. Hasn't actually coached his team in over a decade. just rolls a ball out there and the talent does the rest.

Either way it’s another end of an era for a “long time guy”. Just makes me nostalgic.

FIFY.
He was smart enough to know there's a difference between recruiting and coaching college v. the NBA.

I have no idea what kind of person he is nor do I care. He probably is a sleez like most at that level....his record speaks for itself. Good for him.

Those are my thoughts as well. However, if he is no better or worse than the rest of them, why is he hated more than the rest of them? Is he kind of a douche? Yeah. Are most of these guys kind of douches? Also, yeah. I can see just being tired of the guy, but I don't think he's really earned all the scorn he's received.

JJ Redick story

K calls a timeout, does the usual coach gathering meeting. Comes to the huddle and says, "I can't stand your fucking faces". That's it, timeout over.
