Will you be sad, happy, a combination of both? My entire college basketball experience since childhood has involved Coach K in the periphery. How will you respond when he retires?
How will you react when Coach K retires?

Any Kentucky fan that would be sad when Coach K retires is the kind of Kentucky fan Luke Kennard is
There's some opposing fans here and a few weirdos who pride themselves on being unorthodox when it comes to message board thought.
The question is open to anything and anyone, obviously.
I'll remain indifferent. I almost feel that to show any level of joy could be misconstrued as a "sigh of relief". Indifference is the correct answer. Our success isn't decided by someone else's departure. We don't accept scraps.
We are the needle.
We are the needle.

So you won't miss the advantages he gets from refs, the easy roads he gets in March, the media pandering, the week-long fake hype buildups the Duke/UNC game gets from ESPN, the bullying of officials, the thievery tactics he's used to steal Cal's pro-day, etc.?
I'll throw a freaking champagne party.
Bet he dies, but the Dook administration continue to wheel him out like weekend at bernies..and just pretend he's still kicking..they just let the assistants do all the coaching..
Unlike you I like a challange.
In order to be the best you have to go against everyone. Cant hide forever...
Hope he never does. I don't want any excuses coming from Duke.
Truthfully, I don't think we'll experience any less injustice on the court.
probably more. the refs will be out to avenge Ratatouille’s death.
It’s not about a challenge. The guy is a douche bag that is venerated as a saint and basketball will be better without him. Therefore my reaction will be....
A good glass of bourbon, knowing one of sports biggest cheaters is no longer in the game. Coach K being retired may be bad for Duke, but it's good for everyone else.
Dukes not the best, they are the most privileged.
Couldn't agree more
Regardless he accomplished his fair share
And considered a hof
Measure yourself against the best
One less scumbag in college basketball. Now if Moonpie would get his cheating *** out, things would look better.
You are spot on. Cal certainly doesn't back away from any challenges. Can you imagine if Cal got the same treatment as K does and UK got the same kind of brackets Duke ALWAYS gets? Plus K never plays the OOC schedule that Cal does. I know K is a hall of famer but the press has helped him a million times more than it has Cal.
I just hope he doesn’t pull a Wooden type announcement especially this year. It’s our year to win it all!
I'm getting a lot of low count posters flooding me right now.
I have no fear of K, he's overrated. I fear the Nike push, the NCAA blind eye, and the favoritism in the media and with the officials. It's a legitimate fear if you're not a fan of Duke.
When he's gone, we will see a more level playing field, and Duke itself cannot compete with that. Kentucky has always been and will always be the best. Duke is still playing catchup 50 years after K got there, lol.
And it's challenge, not challange.
Don't remind me of John Wooden pulling that on us right before the final. Can you imagine the love-fest with the media that will occur the entire season?
It’s very nauseating! I read that Duke link to their meltdown over Josiah on their page. I was so sick to my stomach afterwards!
Sorry off my phone.. so sorry for spelling mistake. Glad you corrected me.
Hope he stays forever. Not scared. Seems like you were and still are
But I gotcha
What a weird argument and rebuttal. I just explained that I think he's overrated, it's the system itself that protects him that worries me. I have zero fear of K himself against UK. And as far as Duke and UK in the future, there's no comparison, they cannot compete.
I think they've been doing that for years. The special radio controlled harness shutoff back in 05 when this happened.
Luckily for them it was just a battery issue and you can see an assistant walking over to change the batteries.
I haven't had a Beer in years, so, I might just celebrate with a Beer.
I’ll just be a bit excited, mainly to see which direction their program will take when he’s gone
I think it will ultimately be good for Duke. K is so big now it is hard to draw the line where his influence on recruiting, reffing, seeding, in game coaching starts or stops. Once the perceived bias stops, Duke can succeed or fail on its own merit based on a level playing field.
How I always think of K and the Cats...
P!ss on K . . .How I always think of K and the Cats...
