That's right, after losing last night, he says the season needs to end due to the pandemic.

This is very reminiscent of the 1995 season. Coach K knew he'd have a bad team, so he sat the season out.

He doesn't have that bad of a team this year, but he's clearly calling for the season to end because he knows his team doesn't have what it takes to win. He's been embarrassed twice by Big Ten teams on his home court.

Honestly, is there any more entitled clown than Coach K? When it's going bad, he quits and whines.

Time to hang up your sneakers for good coach.

When I saw Illinois pound them, I thought about the bad back history as well. Somehow, he will find a way to not include this season on his coaching record. Easy for the program with a functionally unlimited money pool to tell the rest to shut it down. Games will need to be postponed/cancelled and maybe even bubbled, but there's no reason to shut the whole operation down. Adapt. Most of the rest of the world is.
 

Matthew Hurt is my best player and he has no position, COVID is taking too much of a toll on these poor college kids! Let's end the season.
 

Even former player don't like Duke. Have any of you read this letter to a fan from Elton Brand?

Remember When A Duke Alum Wrote This Very Bad Letter To Elton Brand?

Today is a nice day for Duke fans. The Deadspin staff is not unmoved by this, so we thought we might share one of our favorite memories involving a Duke player.

Subject: Leaving Duke

I graduated from Duke last May and just wanted to express my disgust for your decision to leave the Duke program after only two years. As an alum, not only do I hold the school in high regard, but the basketball program as well, especially since both have deservedly garnered such a great deal of respect for their accomplishments.

As part of our basketball program, you represent Duke as a whole. We are first and foremost an academic school, you clearly did not belong at Duke in the first place if this was the extent of your commitment to Duke and a college education in general. You have not only insulted the current students who are putting in four years at a school they love, but also the thousands of alumni who have realized the value of a Duke education and what an honor and privilege it was to be there for four years.

If you do not realize the opportunity you has infront of you to play for Coach K and at the same time attain a Duke diploma, then that is certainly your loss. I just wish that you has spared us the notion that you were continuing in the tradition of being a Duke student-athlete, in emphasizing excellence in both academics and athletics. You will not be considered part of the Duke family, in my mind as well as many others. You have by no means proved yourself worthy of that title.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Taylor

Thank you very much, for reminding me of the reason why I left Duke. People like you can not and will not ever understand my situation. I’m sure daddy worked very hard to send your rich self to college. While real people struggle. I would also like to extend an invitation for you not to waste your or my time ever agin. Never being considered a part of your posh group of yuppies really hurts me to the heart. Yeah, right. Because I don’t care about you or your alumni.

Sincerely,

Elton Brand #42 NBA

I had never read that but that is quite amusing. Thanks for sharing.
 




LOL, Coach K's flight instinct kicking in once again. It's funny that the comments arrive on the heels of the Illini beatdown-it's not as if the numbers haven't showed for a long time that the upcoming stretch of months was going to be brutal in regards to COVID spread. What a weasel.
 




What a whiner. I hope they end up in the basement where they belong. Cheaters through and through. UNC on their way to another basement finish also. Great news.
 








This one's even better. A few month ago, Coach K even said the NCAA Tournament cannot be canceled. Here's what he said (careful the link below is from Myron, you'll be giving him clicks):

www.espn.com

Coach K: NCAA can't afford to again lose tourney

Duke's Mike Krzyzewski and Kentucky's John Calipari believe the NCAA can't afford to lose the revenue from another canceled NCAA tournament, and that a bubble format might be the best way to avoid that.
www.espn.com www.espn.com


"We're the thing that the NCAA is most concerned about because men's college basketball and the tournament pays for something like ... it produces 98% or more of the money for the NCAA," Krzyzewski said on Tuesday's edition of Keyshawn, JWIll & Zubin on ESPN Radio. "We need to have the tournament. We can't have it where two years in a row you don't have the NCAA tournament."



Well, what do you want Coach Klown?

Every team that plays Duke needs to pound them this season, and run up the score. Embarrass this guy into retirement. He only wants the tournament if he has a chance to win. What a snake.
 

No doubt if he had a rock star team would be saying the same thing :rolleyes: . Am guessing his play here is to go for May Madness initially and then be not too disappointed if that is cancelled as well.
