Poor Coach K... Poor Duke...

Coach K rips Virginia for allowing fans to rush court

[NewMarketSean]

They do need to make it safer for the players and coaches, of both teams, when this happens. But I do agree Coach K is a baby and of course now the ACC is going to review fans rushing the court. So expect it to be banned shortly. Coach K(ing) has spoken.

There's a simple solution to the problem. Don't lose.

I think he is just frustrated his team really kind of blows this year. Lots of teams have been spanking him and rushing the court.

Exactly. I think they reach the Sweet 16 at best.

I am torn.

On one hand I applaud anything that makes Coach K unhappy.

On the other hand, rushing the courts, especially for a regular season game, is pretty lame.

They've been especially lame this year. There's been like 50 of them it seems.

Thank god that we're getting out of this conference so I never have to hear that old crotchety jerk whine again. I'm sure that the ACC will take what he says as the gospel, as usual. The quicker we can escape the All Carolina Conference, the better.

All Carolina's Conference is right. I got tickets to the ACC tournament this year. I was lucky to get them in the MD section, even though that isn't primetime seating. But there will be enough empty seats to move around. Anyway, check out the disparity in the number of seats given to the local schools vs the rest of the schools.

I know that there are 12 schools now and nine back in 2004, so the tickets have to be divided differently. But look at the disparity between this year, and back in 2004 when MD won the tournament.

What's funny is there was an article in the Greensboro paper just last week about how UNC was still trying to sell their full allotment.

Of course we're thrown in a corner. What a joke this conference is.

The seating rotates around the perimeter every year, doesn't it?

No idea. I just like complaining about how terrible the ACC is. It's really terrible.

[NewOwnerNeeded]

Yes, the seating does rotate around. The corner section is just where MD is this year. I was more bemoaning the size of the four local schools seating sections. I mean, Miami is almost certain to be the #1 seed, and their section is just a sliver. I get they want to sell out the arena, but at the same time, it's hard to grow the fan bases of the other teams if all the tickets go to schools in NC.

[NewOwnerNeeded]

Oh and back on to the original topic, I remember this game and this happening vividly. This was one of the games that made MD and Duke such a great rivalry. Coach K is no where to be found when Duke students run on to their home court after a loss and start pushing visiting players. Forget celebrating a victory, they were being sore losers trying to pick fights with the visiting team. Yeah, Coach K should be the one to talk about this issue.

Go to the 47 second mark to see the pushing.

I'm okay with it if you beat a top 10 team, ranked above you. But rushing the court for beating a mediocre team like NC State is embarrassing.
