I do wish Jon developed a dark side to strike fear in the hearts of officials. Maybe at least Duke will play with a chip on its shoulder:

Both Jon and the players need to "use this as fuel," in an us against the world manner. OFCHe needs to win his next 2 games. If he drops one of those it won't matter how mad he gets. The team needs to use this as fuel.
Repercussions of the botched call at UVA this morning:

Lol, from Flip getting punched in the throat, Flip getting fouled on Saturday and hurting his ankle, then not given foul shots, Lively taking a little longer to get his game going, Whitehead getting hurt twice, etc., etc.This team is cursed.
All I am asking for is a bit more anger and emotion. K was creative, enough to do it. Certainly all the years Jon's studied his mentor he can figure it out. He's an extremely smart young man.He couldn't get upset when the call was made because of the good chance of getting a tech called on him and then everyone would be saying how dumb that wae to get a tech called called with no time on the clock and the game tied. He's not allowed to critisize officials during pressers per the ACC . So what's he supposed to do? He's probably doing the only thing he can do. I hope whoever makes the officials schedule doesn't assign this crew any more Duke games ever. OFC
K could do it with a stare down!You have to call refs out on their ****, and you can do it without going crazy. It's a game as old as the hills.
People tend to defer to their elders. Since Jon is younger than most of the refs that could be at play here. He’ll get better at all thisK could do it with a stare down!

If anyone has ever played a team sport your favorite coaches were always the bad asses who you knew had your back Like I said he’ll get better at this kind of stuff. I’m happy with our coachI think a young team needs to see a coach fight for them. An early technical foul next time Duke gets hosed by refs might just fire up a young team.
