Ok let's stop with the BATMAN NOSTALGIA,THIS Isn't A COMIC BOOK CHARACTER THIS IS COACH K THE GREATEST COACH IN THE HISTORY OF BASKETBALL YOU BEST BELIEVE DAT BATMAN.
Nothing's better than March Madness! What a wild ride! Congratulations to both teams for a great game. Congratulations to UNC on your win.. Job exceptionally well done! May the excitement and gusto for the games keep on rolling in madness! 🏀🏀🎉🎉
I am a Tarheel.but Coach K is one of the greatest. You can not maintain the level of excellence he is has been able to achieve without great ability. As much as I like to pull against Duke, I do wish Carolina had shown a little respect when he went to Carolina in recognizing his career. Dean Smith, Roy Williams and Coach K, 3 of the greatest. Times are changing and not for the better.
@@user-cv8wx8kr4d I watched Hubert play at Carolina and I think he was a great player and will be great Coach as well. It has been a really good year and I look forward to watching Hubert continue to lead Carolina thru the next era.
Carolina fan here…say what you want about ruining coach k’s past home game, but let’s be real: duke has had a great season overall, they will likely still get a good seed in the ncaa tournament, and coach k has had an amazing career. The results of this game change none of that.
This win was more about the Heels finding themselves against a top team and jumping off the fence. The basketball world knows what Coach K has meant to the game.
This is the statement Coach K should have made. It’s a big moment for him and I’m sure he was imagining a big win tonight. He seems a bit shell shocked here to be honest but it’s understandable
@@dannydevito4338 right . We still gonna be a 2 seed in the big tourney. Everything gonna be fine. This team will be fine . We are just hung over from clinching the regular season title and all the media attention this week.
Love him or hate him, Coach K defines college basketball. I hated to see his dependence on the "one-and-dones" so much in the last 10 years, but that is the current nature of the game.
The Carolina guards had their way in this game, and with Duke generally sloppy with the ball ... this was UNC's game. Next week they are on a collision course to do it again on a court hundreds of miles north, so we may get to see the same matchup in a rubber match. It's now likely that Duke will go to the East Regional, while Carolina will be somewhere west of that -- much more to come in March Madness ... great stuff !
The reason Duke lost was their inability to guard the middle ball screen action with the guards and BACOT,they ran that play the whole second half.its unbelievable coach k didn't get them to switch defenses to thwart the ball screens. If the starters can't do it bring in Bates Jones he is a high IQ player and a good defender. Also we are a very good zone defense team when they use it. It works so well cause the zone defense catches teams off guard because Coach K rarely ever play zone when he does though it throws the other team's offense for a loop and a lot of times they have a hard time adjusting I just think there should have been more coaching in the game John SCHEYER needs to step up and help out,if he truly is a x and o genius as his peers say he is
I wish he never started recruiting 1 and done players. Imo it hasn't been the same since he started doing that. I wonder if he regrets going that route to some degree ?
Cannot believe we beat Duke let alone by 15 points. There were some clutch plays from Leaky and Armando and whoever that redhead dude is…man he had some huge three pointers down the stretch. Coach K is reeling here, it’s kind of a bad look for his last game. IMO he shoulda skipped the post-game conference and do it tomorrow. Duke played well but UNC played at the top of their game. They brought it today
In the previous two games, Duke rotated/passed the ball beautifully for good outside looks. In tonites game, I saw indiviual play underpinned by lots of drives into a crowded lane. Just my perspective
And Paulo banchero settles for jump shots too often,if he doesn't bring his offense down low come the tourney I'm afraid we won't make it past the sweet sixteen. I just don't get it at times this year they've played easily like the best team in the country hands down when they're playing hard solid defense and everything is clicking it's just like they're not hungry though because there's too many young players on the team with the egos. Bates Jones needs more minutes because he is a high IQ basketball player and he plays really good defense and he gives good effort and that will rub off on the other guys also Joey Baker needs to get some playing time his defense has improved and he can hit the wide open three at a good clip
This magnificent coach was treated to a fittingly wonderful nostalgic pre game experience . It was the ultimate celebration of his historic coaching career. The Tar Heels then treated him and the Duke elite to a solid and decisive defeat during the most sentimental and important home game in their storied history .
Coach K played his final home game the same way Coach Smith did. With the gift of a UNC win. Enjoy your retirement, Mike. You built a Helluva basketball program 😎👍🏀
It wasn't a solid a decisive win,bad calls by the refs gave UNC five points before the first half ended. And in the second half inch didn't take control until the final 4:30 of the game. A decisive win is win you lead the whole game and win by 20 points like Duke did to UNC last month. WAKE UP GIBRONI!!! CALL IT FOR REAL DONT BE A FUCKING HOMER FOR YOUR TEAM,BE True AND HONEST AND STOP DISRESPECTING THE GAME.
@@RobertDixon-sw3dz oooh wow. They didn't get their ass whooped though . And ass whooping is when you aren't in the game at all period. Like when you lose by 20. SOUND FAMILIAR. SMH GODNIGHT
A die hard UNC fan, never meeting an UNC player or coach. I however had the honor of meeting in my opinion the greatest college basketball coach ever and just all around awesome human being... It's not over for coach K yet but you will be sorely, sorely missed...
You are a class act for your kind words about coach k. As a die hard Duke fan, I always thought Roy Williams was a magnificent coach and a class act. He made a statement one time about how he would like to beat the butts of the mean spirited fans of this rivalry. Very true
Served both Coach Roy and Coach K multiple times. Coach K is a better tipper! But that doesn’t represent the quality of a human being. And they are both equally compassionate and great people. My vitriol ended when I met Coach K and had a great talk with him. Rivalry is still there in my heart but it comes from a place of love and respect instead of hate. I’m gonna miss him as a rival coach.
UNC basketball has finished 1st or 2nd in the ACC for a hundred years…so to have a winning record against that program is a huge huge feather in your retirement cap.
Was a phenomenal game, been a UNC fan since I was a little kid, hat's off to both teams, and to Coach K! Nothing but respect and if he was gonna go down in his last game, who better than? Let's see the Heels bring in number 7!!
Only had the ability to lose two more games and I’m glad one was today! Big chip on our shoulder and a lot to learn from! Let’s win the ACC tourney and then get past weekend 1
Great Coach. Tremendous Defeat. UNC outplayed Duke and sank their battleship. Mrs.Krzyzewski is really intense. Loved seeing Tar Heels upset apple cart. Well done UNC. Don't see Duke winning NCAA.Probably Devils win ACC Tournament.Then again I thought Duke would beat UNC. 😆🤣😂😹
This man is a class act ! Coach K is a first class member of the coaching community . He is a wonderful sportsman that is hard to beat. He enjoyed a storied and fittingly appropriate day filled with nostalgia and celebratory memories from his tremendous career. The Tar Heels left him to experience a decisive loss in the most sentimental and meaningful home game of his entire career. This wasn't a heart breaking buzzer beater . It was a sound home loss and he handled it like a champ.
@@willpoulson4419 Your right except that many of Woodens players only played 3 years as back in those days freshmen were not allowed on the varsity team.
It was a great game. If UNC and Duke end up matching up in the March Madness loop, it still won’t hold a candle to this, last Battle of the Blues match up , for Coach Ks last Home game.
So you think that it will be a national championship of them again in New Orleans? There is no way that both teams will make it to the final four let alone play each-other for the national championship. Dream on. Not gonna happen. Now it might happen in the ACC in Brooklyn though that’s more realistic.
That’s because you have so many teams in different regions. There is no way that North Carolina, and Duke can play each-other for the national championship. They are in different brackets in different regions playing different powerhouse teams in different venues in different brackets in different regions in other conferences of different seeds. I mean you have to play a number 16 seed if you are Duke for example in somewhere like Philadelphia or Indianapolis. You have to go up against teams like Gonzaga, Purdue, and Baylor. It’s just going to be very hard for both teams. I’m not saying it’s impossible but it’s not going to happen. The chances of Duke, and Carolina playing each-other for the national championship in New Orleans in April on Monday night is slim. Now could one of those teams make it? Possibly. It depends. The world of college basketball does not revolve around Duke, and Carolina. There are other teams in march madness, too. Notre Dame is probably in it, and definitely Wake Forest is in it, and so is Miami maybe. Now could North Carolina make it to the Sweet 16? Possibly yes they I think are that kind-of team I think they could even go farther maybe to the elite eight I don’t think that North Carolina will be in the final four but you never know. No two March madness regions are alike. They are played in different venues around America no two brackets are created equal. Just remember that UMBC Golden Retriever Dogs with Ryan Odom the coach game versus Virginia upset in Charlotte, North Carolina a few years ago that is a classic example of what can happen in March that really stands out even to this day.
@@rtee48 I think that there could be another UMBC type game with Virginia possibly in somewhere like Greenville, South Carolina that could easily go down in history it could happen you never know that’s why March madness is so great. It could happen in the Midwest region that could happen in Fort Worth, Texas. It could happen in Indianapolis, Indiana. It could happen anywhere it could happen in Buffalo, New York somebody that’s a number 16 seed could go down to a number one seed where the crowd screams in Pandemonium in an exciting celebration cheering in happiness it could happen easily in the first round again. Dude, anything is possible in March! Yes a team could win to a number 1 seed. They could easily turn it upside down. That could easily happen again this year. A basketball team could be favored number one going up against a number 16 it could easily happen again this year, yes. Number one seeds though are always supposed to win. If you take somebody like Duke who is the number one seed, and you put them up against a team like a Cinderella like Colgate, you know that Duke is favored to win the game. So it happens but not always but it’s happened before. In 2019 though it didn’t happen it could’ve happened. It involved Duke. Remember Tacko Fall that tall Center for UCF? That game involved Zion Williamson. Also, it could’ve happened with North Carolina in a 2007 regional In Winston-Salem, North Carolina when Tyler Hansbrough was playing for North Carolina in Roy Williams’ third year. If the Colonels, then a number 16 seed of Eastern Kentucky, who they were playing, had beaten North Carolina that would have been Historic also. My point is it happens. It’s happened before, and it almost has happened or teams have given number one seeds a run. Also, don’t ever forget the Georgetown final four, and you know which one I am talking about that happened in Lexington, Kentucky on Monday night for the national championship that was a long long time ago but we all know that Cinderella the greatest upset ever. Also, how about the same year of UMBC versus Virginia the same thing happened but different to Loyola-Chicago In The Dallas, Texas Regional. You might have a bracket filled out in a week from now but it could easily get busted just try to fill it out but be vigilant about it. March is so unpredictable. Nobody will ever know what happens. Another classic example is what happened in the I believe it was 2016 national championship North Carolina’s Marcus Paige made that shot, and everybody said North Carolina is going to win at all, and then Kris Jenkins of Villanova won it all at the buzzer as he answers back. Also, North Carolina in Memphis played Kentucky the very next year, and Luke may needed to win for North Carolina so he made the the buzzer beater it could’ve easily gone out it went in that sent North Carolina to Phoenix, Arizona for the final four. That year they won the national championship to Gonzaga in 2017 North Carolina won it was Roy Williams’ last championship. Also, in 2012, North Carolina was favored to go to the final four in New Orleans where they are holding it this year by the way, and in the Midwest region In St. Louis, Missouri, Kansas beat North Carolina to go to the final four. North Carolina put on a good performance that night they gave them a good show but unfortunately Kansas outplayed North Carolina in a heartbreaking loss. They outsmarted North Carolina that night. Of course we all know Christian Laettner against Kentucky I’m not saying that is the reason for March madness in itself but honestly it’s the greatest said to be the greatest final seconds of any March madness game ever. That same year what really hurt them was Kendall Marshall in the region in Greensboro, North Carolina busted his hand so he couldn’t play. You also are very aware what happened with Louisville’s Kevin Ware that same year I believe it was. Also, who would’ve ever thought that Virginia would have redemption after losing the very next year by winning it all with Tony Bennett after losing that iconic game of UMBC by winning it all. So, you just never know. But I love this time of year! 🏀
@@Gonzoweirdo1 Had to re-visit you. How does your long soliloquy look now? This is March, anything can happen as you should know. The guy said what if and here we are, never in tournament history, Duke vs. UNC. Not gonna kill you too bad, the odds were in your favor. Hopefully you're rooting for the right team. GO HEELS!
Coach K made this game all about him and now he has to wear it rather than blame 18-year-olds whom he failed to prepare properly and who were left to scramble when K made poor tactical decisions down the stretch. K was from 1985 to 2006 easily the best coach in college basketball, making 11 final fours. But then he decided he was more interested in outcompeting Kentucky for one-and-dones than he was with sustaining his previous success -- perhaps it flattered his ego to consistently reel in top-3 recruiting classes, and he delivered for those players who used Duke as a one-year launch pad to the NBA. But that change costs the team and the program. Since 2011, Duke has made it to a final four only once; he only won two ACC regular season championships and his teams consistently placed lower in those standings that they were predicted to do pre-season. And it's not because the ACC got tougher with Big East teams coming in -- those Big East teams collectively have only one a single regular season ACC title. Virginia has won five regular season titles since 2014 because Tony Bennett has become the conference's best coach and by doing it the way K used to do it: improving players and teams over multiple years. UNC has won five regular season titles though only one since 2017. Miami and Florida State each won once. Duke still has a top-10 team with a chance to win a championship in March, though that goal was undermined when K ordered his players after this game to sit on the visitor's bench, humiliating them and blaming them for his shortcomings.
That is hilarious! His players should have been sent back to their dorm. K’s game plan was point on. His players quit on him. By the way: The greatest Tony Bennett is a crooner. Tony Bennett the coach isn’t a Coach K and he never will be.
@@lenripley3 Since 2013-14, Bennett has a much better record in the ACC than does K, has five first-place finishes to K's two, and has a more recent national championship, all done without a single recruit ranked in the top 20. Even with Bennett having his weakest team in eight seasons, UVA beat Duke this season in Cameron and with six of eight players getting their first real playing time in a UVA uniform this season, with the highest recruiting ranking of any of them about 70. Tony isn't Coach K -- he's much better, as his players NEVER quick on Tony, the mark of a great leader and coach.
In middle school science class the extra point question was to spell his name on every test since the teacher was big Duke fan. Growing up in Chapel Hill it was tough to get myself to learn it but almost 20 years later I still know how to spell it. Krzyzewski
He is a legendary coach, great career. I think the entire last game thing was a bizarre spectacle. Over the top, ESPN apparently is the Duke sports network. Did you see the the students? Crying like a family member died. You get the feeling that these kids, albeit young 18-22, have lived quite privileged lives and never faced any negative adversity. Obviously some have but most have not.
Like listening to Krzyzewski talk about basketball.He's won 🏆too much.Hard to root for him in his Sentimental Journey.Would rather listen to Doris Day.
Duke my team but they got out coached and outplayed.. UNC won before the game even started they was prepared and made all the adjustments needed through out the whole game.
To have the unmitigated gall to schedule a celebration on the same day as a game against your hated rival... Could not have happened to a better person.
You know something a unc fan never mentions? The longest running scandal at a major university in history. 18 years of giving grades to students, many of them to qualify athletes to play. There's a few words to never associate with UNC; class, integrity, or scholar-athlete
Didn't coach k kick unc's arse at chapel hill, plus, will always be over 500 against them. Regular season champs by the way. And like I said, unc fans will never mention the scandalous behavior from their university. In fact, it's nothing new. Check out the sanctions they got during the Mcguire Era. Unlike you, coach K, with class, gave tremendous credit to unc's team.
@@charlielohr5252 Classy K shamed his players after the loss. His last game at Cameron was an L from Carolina. That is going to leave a mark... forever. Be blessed.
Coach k has as many national championships as deanie and Roy combined. Plus, there's an ACC tournament coming up, loser. The greatest ACC coach of all time. Just the facts, chump
Oh, come on don't tell me there wasn't a lot of pressure to win this game. The two games of a season your fans always demand you win are the two with the Tar Heels and vice versa for the Tar Heel fans. And especially this one which was your last one ever in Cameron. It's going to be a college basketball trivia question for all time. Who was Mike Krzyzewski's last opponent in Cameron Arena and what was the outcome of the game? And the answer will always be Hubert Davis in his rookie season as head coach of the UNC Tar Heels. And the score will forever be etched in all of our memories Tar Heels 94 Duke 81.
Do you know what would be Armageddon? It will not happen but if Duke, and Carolina play for the national championship. That’s because you have so many teams in different regions. There is no way that North Carolina, and Duke can play each-other for the national championship. They are in different brackets in different regions playing different powerhouse teams in different venues in different brackets in different regions in other conferences of different seeds. I mean you have to play a number 16 seed if you are Duke for example in somewhere like Philadelphia or Indianapolis. You have to go up against teams like Gonzaga, Purdue, and Baylor.

Possibly yes they I think are that kind-of team I think they could even go farther maybe to the elite eight I don’t think that North Carolina will be in the final four but you never know. No two March madness regions are alike. They are played in different venues around America no two brackets are created equal. Just remember that UMBC Golden Retriever Dogs with Ryan Odom the coach game versus Virginia upset in Charlotte, North Carolina a few years ago that is a classic example of what can happen in March that really stands out even to this day. March madness can go any way. Carolina could get knocked off to somebody like Mount St. Mary’s or the Belmont Bruins in round one easily that could easily happen or somebody like that I’m not sure who or Colgate that could easily happen easily. We have seen it before. Duke could easily get knocked off to a number 14 seed in the first round at somewhere like Greenville, South Carolina that could easily happen easily which would end Coach K’s coaching career right there. So my point is, never underestimate March madness anything could happen anything. March madness is a wild thing. You have to understand. You have to understand that March madness is a wild time of year.
I love it that coach K brought up Jesus Christ Holy Catholic Church in the sacrament of confession and who he is not just a great basketball coach but more .
@@edwardclement102 not true Jesus set up a church 1 church there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church because Jesus Alone set up his church and outside the ark no salvation read the Early Church Fathers and the Didache as Ignatius of Antioch taught by Apostle John said in 90 AD wherever the Bishops are let the people be wherever Jesus Christ is so is the Catholic Church. The only church well Christian church mentioned in the first century. God Bless You
K is STUMBLING all over himself because he is SO SHOCKED that his team LOST his LAST HOME GAME..... Mike, get a grip buddy! Yall did play well! Shot almost 50 percent from the field & almost 40 percent from 3...... THE HEELS JUST PLAYED BETTER! 😁🤣
The defense was atrocious. Carolina's guards got into the paint at will. Every single possession there was dribble penetration, ball fed into the post, or an open jumper. It was hideous!! We did not fight through screens, we did not hussle, we did not stay with our defensive assignments. We could have valued the ball better offensively, but the bottom line is we scored enough to win, but we gave up a miserable 94 points. How many games are you winning in March while allowing 94 points?? Zero.
He brought this on himself.. Farewell tour is such crap!!! Coach Smith not Coach Williams had such a spectacle!! And he says he doesn't like all the attention!!?? Plz. If he didn't like the attention why did he allow it to occur??
@@timhill4695 Lol, the purpose of a final year was not for a farewell tour (which K genuinely loathes) but for 1) a seamless transition of succession that afforded a final and intimate tutorship for Scheyer; and 2) a final opportunity at championship glory that perfectly eluded the subpar team from a year ago. The "farewell tour" was an unwanted consequence of the two wider purposes.
Actually, his legacy will be as probably the greatest coach of all time. He won as many national championships as deanie and Roy combined. Look at the record books for the truth, which haters can't handle
Unc 's legacy? The longest running scandal at a major university in history. 18 years of giving grades to keep athletes eligible. Don't ever mention the words class, integrity, or scholar-athlete in regards to unc.
@@charlielohr5252 He is a great coach. No doubt about it. But on March 5, 2022, his last home game, he made the game about himself. “My senior night”. And North Carolina gave him an L to remember for the rest of his life. The man says “the celebration was about me and I don’t like that”. He isn’t fooling anybody. They are good enough to win the title so he’s right to say the season isn’t over. I’m just glad Roy was humble enough to avoid the ME tour during his last campaign.
@@adammaes3519 Yep that same team beat Duke to. They are playing their best basketball. Besides they don't have nothing to loose bruh. You already got them defeated. They can't do nothing but come up. Go Heels!
Duke or UNC could lose in the first tounry game. They both are way to inconsistent! I'm a Dukie but it's true.... I just want a see a team play solid all season.
@@hdelano11 Yes but the Heels are not expected to win. Anything less than a NCAA championship for Duke is gonna be considered a loss season especially with what the Tarheels done to them. It unfair for them because they are young an without a point guard.
I said during the game I didn't understand why Roy didn't announce at the start of last season it would be his last, and then it donned on me he didn't want it to be another distraction in a year full of distractions last year. Roy did it right. I don't feel like Coach K did. Also fuck duke. Go UNC!
Absolutely, The Rat, wanted a Farewell tour, versus doing what Roy did. K is a Fraud, I didn't say he wasn't a great coach but he is a Fraud, who has played the system well and got paid handsomely for it!!!
after 40 years i think it’s okay for an old man to take a farewell tour. I understand your point, however i don’t think there’s a “right” way to do it. I think he earned a farewell tour. AND I don’t get like duke
@@soyuckyy4960 I never said he didn't. I'm not dumb I know how much he did for his school and the country, but at the same time I feel like imo he could have waited til the end of the year. It just seemed like a very egotistical move to me, and the game yesterday became more about him then the kids and the universities. But hey I'm happy either way because my team got a very big win last night. Go UNC!
@@justinshavers4692 i agree the game was about him. But if you watched the post game ceremony in true Coach K fashion he called the performance unacceptable. That’s why i believe this wasn’t his intent. But your point still is valid.
@@justinshavers4692 also i’m curious, Idk that much about unc this year. How deep can they really go? I genuinely have no idea. I like the team i just don’t see the depth
Mike, you not only had THE BEST TEAM IN THE ACC but you also had ALL of your CRY BABY FANS & 100 FORMER "GREAT" PLAYERS & YOU STILL COULDN'T BEAT UNC...... NO MORE EXCUSES PLEASE!
If I remember correctly … we best y’all like last month by 20 . After y’all named the road to Dean dome “Roy Williams highway.” And were chanting “f*** coach k.”
Right that was a month ago and no one talks about it but what better way to send coach k home with an L in his final home game you know Roy would’ve never lost it #goheels
@@brendancurry5325 we spilt games . We beat y’all just as bad. Y’all’s postseason gonna be really short anyways . Can’t wait to see y’all get bounced in semifinals to ND .🤝
@@brendancurry5325 short postseason for y’all . Calling it now . Thanks for the wake up call 🤝 we spilt games this year . Big deal. Catch y’all in the ACC championship unless y’all suck it up against ND or someone terrible.
This first time this Fraud gave another team credit! He had to, he had no choice because the whole world saw his One and Done program get bounced by an un-ranked Tar heel squad, on their home court in his last game. Go Heels!!!!
Have you ever listened to any post-game show by coach K? He always gives credit to the other team. Unlike Dean Smith, who used to whine about opposing players, coaches, refs, and even fans. Do your research and you'll see who was one of the most classless coaches of all time
@@charlielohr5252 OK let's look at those record books then... Number of years that Coach K coached at Duke where ONLY the ACC Tourney Champion got a bid to the NCAA Tournament? ZERO Number of years that Coach Smith only got an NCAA tournament bid if UNC won the ACC Tournament? TWELVE. Number of Years Coach K had to try and get a bid to the tournament with less than 48 bids given? ZERO Number of years Coach Smith had to get a bid with less than 48 bids given? Eighteen. Number of times Coach K went up against John Wooden (you know, the guy they named the Wooden Award after, the one that has won 12 Championships, more than any coach in history)? ZERO Number of times Coach Smith had to go the Final Four where John Wooden and UCLA eventually won? Four Total number of seasons coached by K? 42 By Coach Smith 36 (many of them in an era when far fewer games were played per season)? By Coach Williams at both Kansas and UNC? 33 And finally overall winning percentage for Coach K? .766 Coach Williams? .774 Coach Smith? .776 Coach K has had an extraordinary career and has been extremely successful and I won't deny that. But whether to call him the greatest coach of all time or not is a matter of debate and opinion. Many would argue for Coach John Wooden, others might suggest Phog Allen, of course those of us who are UNC fans would argue in favor of Coach Smith, the people of Indiana could argue that it was Bobby Knight and finally Kentucky partisans would insist it is Adolph Rupp. That debate is endless. But calling him the greatest isn't what has me asking what the Hell some of y'all are smoking. It's claiming that A. that K played by the rules (OMG I can barely type that without falling out of my chair in fits of laughter) and B. saying what a class act he is. He might not be the slimeball that John Calipari is but the man is far from classy in the way he bullies officials, throws his players under the bus when they lose and teaches them to flop over on the ground when they haven't even been touched trying to draw fraudulent charging fouls. And whatever else you might try to claim about UNC or Kentucky or Kansas or any other team I've never seen a player blatantly STOMP on an player from an opposing team while they were lying on the ground like Christian Laettner did against Aminu Timberlake of UK in the 92 tournament. Yeah that's a class act of a program there buddy! And don't try to deny he did it because Laettner has gone on the record and admitted he purposely stomped on Timberlake's chest. He should have been ejected from the game for that shit and well then we probably wouldn't be talking about K winning 5 titles would we?
@@ashleighelizabeth5916 I never said coach K was the greatest, but his records stand for themselves, despite haters such as yourself. As for facts, Dean Smith had the greatest collection of raw talent in the country after John Wooden retired and what did he accomplish? 2 national championships that were decided by the other teams mistake. As far as class, go back and look at some of the many derogatory statements this man made about referee's, fans, NCAA officials, and worst of all, his insults about opposing players. Something coach k or Roy would never do. Although a UNC fan will never mention it, they have the longest running scandal in history at a major university. They gave grades to students for 18 years, many of them athletes, to make them eligible to participate. Don't ever associate UNC with class, integrity, or scholar-athlete!!!!
Maybe we won't have to watch Duke teams flop or get tea bagged on every single fast break or drive to the basket against them EVER... Nah I'm sure he taught his sycophants the art of the flop way too well for that to change anytime soon.
Top 25. Anybody can beat anybody. K knows. Ohio State beat Duke. Lost to Michigan. Its how you are playing. Conf tournaments mean nothing. NCAA is what counts.
Kentucky fan here: I get it I get it but it’s Mike K. I would’ve rigged the game if I were unc coach. What’s 1 loss, again I get it but it’s Mikes last home game. I mean cmon man!!!
Bullshit you don't lose cause it's a Great coach last game!!! They got out played!! Farewell tour.. Coach Smith and Coach Williams didn't have this spectacle... He brought it on himself. And UNC had to much pride after last game against Duke... Crazy if you think either team would lay down for the other!!
Duke: "Who the hell are you supposed to be?" Carolina: "I'm vengeance."
Ok let's stop with the BATMAN NOSTALGIA,THIS Isn't A COMIC BOOK CHARACTER THIS IS COACH K THE GREATEST COACH IN THE HISTORY OF BASKETBALL YOU BEST BELIEVE DAT BATMAN.
Nothing's better than March Madness! What a wild ride! Congratulations to both teams for a great game.
Congratulations to UNC on your win.. Job exceptionally well done! May the excitement and gusto for the games keep on rolling in madness! 🏀🏀🎉🎉
Hope Duke and Carolina go deep into the big dance. Since it's Coach Ks last year hopefully they can meet in the final game.
i can't stand Dook, but i must say that coach K has shown tremendous humility and class in his final season coaching.
*or
I love Dook
And good spelling
I am a Tarheel.but Coach K is one of the greatest. You can not maintain the level of excellence he is has been able to achieve without great ability. As much as I like to pull against Duke, I do wish Carolina had shown a little respect when he went to Carolina in recognizing his career. Dean Smith, Roy Williams and Coach K, 3 of the greatest. Times are changing and not for the better.
Me too and it's the end of an era but I do hope the greatest rivalry in college will continue.
Much respect to u brother but Hubert Davis is a class act
@@user-cv8wx8kr4d I watched Hubert play at Carolina and I think he was a great player and will be great Coach as well. It has been a really good year and I look forward to watching Hubert continue to lead Carolina thru the next era.
UNC grad. An instant classic. Coach K is a class act. He and Jimmy V, Dean, Roy.. complete class. Happy for the win. Hark the Sound.
Carolina fan here…say what you want about ruining coach k’s past home game, but let’s be real: duke has had a great season overall, they will likely still get a good seed in the ncaa tournament, and coach k has had an amazing career. The results of this game change none of that.
This win was more about the Heels finding themselves against a top team and jumping off the fence. The basketball world knows what Coach K has meant to the game.
Bullshit
7 game win streak was gonna come to an end at some point. Rather it come now than next week. Learning experience. We will be better.
This is the statement Coach K should have made. It’s a big moment for him and I’m sure he was imagining a big win tonight. He seems a bit shell shocked here to be honest but it’s understandable
@@dannydevito4338 right . We still gonna be a 2 seed in the big tourney. Everything gonna be fine. This team will be fine . We are just hung over from clinching the regular season title and all the media attention this week.
Coach K was taking on Dean Smith's former players Hubert Davis and Jeff Lebo, good career Coach K, Go Tarheels, good to see Lebo back at UNC.
Love him or hate him, Coach K defines college basketball. I hated to see his dependence on the "one-and-dones" so much in the last 10 years, but that is the current nature of the game.
YESSIR LETS GO UNC, fr tho all respect for coach K and I’m just so happy
The Carolina guards had their way in this game, and with Duke generally sloppy with the ball ... this was UNC's game. Next week they are on a collision course to do it again on a court hundreds of miles north, so we may get to see the same matchup in a rubber match. It's now likely that Duke will go to the East Regional, while Carolina will be somewhere west of that -- much more to come in March Madness ... great stuff !
Unc lost to PITT go panthers
The reason Duke lost was their inability to guard the middle ball screen action with the guards and BACOT,they ran that play the whole second half.its unbelievable coach k didn't get them to switch defenses to thwart the ball screens. If the starters can't do it bring in Bates Jones he is a high IQ player and a good defender. Also we are a very good zone defense team when they use it. It works so well cause the zone defense catches teams off guard because Coach K rarely ever play zone when he does though it throws the other team's offense for a loop and a lot of times they have a hard time adjusting I just think there should have been more coaching in the game John SCHEYER needs to step up and help out,if he truly is a x and o genius as his peers say he is

@@robinbennington4607 GO TECH it's a good game
@@robinbennington4607 hey you whoo .come out and play yay yay .are you crying 😢 and hiding next time don't shoot off your big mouth
I love you Dad K!🙏🏾💕🥰 All is well, sir. Living forward.👍🏾💯 WE ARE DUKE.✊🏾💯
I wish he never started recruiting 1 and done players. Imo it hasn't been the same since he started doing that. I wonder if he regrets going that route to some degree ?
Cannot believe we beat Duke let alone by 15 points. There were some clutch plays from Leaky and Armando and whoever that redhead dude is…man he had some huge three pointers down the stretch. Coach K is reeling here, it’s kind of a bad look for his last game. IMO he shoulda skipped the post-game conference and do it tomorrow. Duke played well but UNC played at the top of their game. They brought it today
It was by 13, not 15
What do you mean by he was reeling!

Carolina won't make it past the 1st weekend in March.
@@adamballard1125 might not but we beat you dookies on his farewell game!! Lol
Tough game against a team with some great players. Carolina was not intimidated at all. They were psyched to play against that crowd.
Darrin D, awsome heels! Sorry duckies. Bleed Tarheel blue. Wilson NC but living in Las Vegas. Ready for the race tomorrow!!!! D
Nobody Likes A Heel!
In the previous two games, Duke rotated/passed the ball beautifully for good outside looks. In tonites game, I saw indiviual play underpinned by lots of drives into a crowded lane. Just my perspective
And Paulo banchero settles for jump shots too often,if he doesn't bring his offense down low come the tourney I'm afraid we won't make it past the sweet sixteen. I just don't get it at times this year they've played easily like the best team in the country hands down when they're playing hard solid defense and everything is clicking it's just like they're not hungry though because there's too many young players on the team with the egos. Bates Jones needs more minutes because he is a high IQ basketball player and he plays really good defense and he gives good effort and that will rub off on the other guys also Joey Baker needs to get some playing time his defense has improved and he can hit the wide open three at a good clip
This magnificent coach was treated to a fittingly wonderful nostalgic pre game experience . It was the ultimate celebration of his historic coaching career. The Tar Heels then treated him and the Duke elite to a solid and decisive defeat during the most sentimental and important home game in their storied history .
Coach K played his final home game the same way Coach Smith did. With the gift of a UNC win. Enjoy your retirement, Mike. You built a Helluva basketball program 😎👍🏀
It wasn't a solid a decisive win,bad calls by the refs gave UNC five points before the first half ended. And in the second half inch didn't take control until the final 4:30 of the game. A decisive win is win you lead the whole game and win by 20 points like Duke did to UNC last month. WAKE UP GIBRONI!!! CALL IT FOR REAL DONT BE A FUCKING HOMER FOR YOUR TEAM,BE True AND HONEST AND STOP DISRESPECTING THE GAME.
Desiree,
The Tar Heels took the lead at the 9:15 mark and never relinquished it. It was a solid , decisive win for those Tar Heels.
@@RobertDixon-sw3dz oooh wow. They didn't get their ass whooped though . And ass whooping is when you aren't in the game at all period. Like when you lose by 20. SOUND FAMILIAR. SMH GODNIGHT

A die hard UNC fan, never meeting an UNC player or coach. I however had the honor of meeting in my opinion the greatest college basketball coach ever and just all around awesome human being... It's not over for coach K yet but you will be sorely, sorely missed...
You are a class act for your kind words about coach k. As a die hard Duke fan, I always thought Roy Williams was a magnificent coach and a class act. He made a statement one time about how he would like to beat the butts of the mean spirited fans of this rivalry. Very true
Served both Coach Roy and Coach K multiple times. Coach K is a better tipper! But that doesn’t represent the quality of a human being. And they are both equally compassionate and great people. My vitriol ended when I met Coach K and had a great talk with him. Rivalry is still there in my heart but it comes from a place of love and respect instead of hate. I’m gonna miss him as a rival coach.
Go Heels!!!
UNC basketball has finished 1st or 2nd in the ACC for a hundred years…so to have a winning record against that program is a huge huge feather in your retirement cap.
Doesn’t change the fact that Carolina is still up by 27
Was a phenomenal game, been a UNC fan since I was a little kid, hat's off to both teams, and to Coach K! Nothing but respect and if he was gonna go down in his last game, who better than? Let's see the Heels bring in number 7!!
Yelling at fans to be quiet was memorable
Only had the ability to lose two more games and I’m glad one was today! Big chip on our shoulder and a lot to learn from! Let’s win the ACC tourney and then get past weekend 1
Great Coach. Tremendous Defeat. UNC outplayed Duke and sank their battleship. Mrs.Krzyzewski is really intense. Loved seeing Tar Heels upset apple cart. Well done UNC. Don't see Duke winning NCAA.Probably Devils win ACC Tournament.Then again I thought Duke would beat UNC. 😆🤣😂😹
This man is a class act !
Coach K is a first class member of the coaching community .
He is a wonderful sportsman that is hard to beat.
He enjoyed a storied and fittingly appropriate day filled with nostalgia and celebratory memories from his tremendous career.
The Tar Heels left him to experience a decisive loss in the most sentimental and meaningful home game of his entire career.
This wasn't a heart breaking buzzer beater .
It was a sound home loss and he handled it like a champ.
Never could be like Wooden
A lot easier when you’re players hv to play 4 years. Duke might hv 20 titles if that was the rule
@@willpoulson4419 Your right except that many of Woodens players only played 3 years as back in those days freshmen were not allowed on the varsity team.
Those were the easy days of winning a few games.
It was a great game. If UNC and Duke end up matching up in the March Madness loop, it still won’t hold a candle to this, last Battle of the Blues match up , for Coach Ks last Home game.
So you think that it will be a national championship of them again in New Orleans? There is no way that both teams will make it to the final four let alone play each-other for the national championship. Dream on. Not gonna happen. Now it might happen in the ACC in Brooklyn though that’s more realistic.
That’s because you have so many teams in different regions. There is no way that North Carolina, and Duke can play each-other for the national championship. They are in different brackets in different regions playing different powerhouse teams in different venues in different brackets in different regions in other conferences of different seeds. I mean you have to play a number 16 seed if you are Duke for example in somewhere like Philadelphia or Indianapolis. You have to go up against teams like Gonzaga, Purdue, and Baylor. It’s just going to be very hard for both teams. I’m not saying it’s impossible but it’s not going to happen. The chances of Duke, and Carolina playing each-other for the national championship in New Orleans in April on Monday night is slim. Now could one of those teams make it? Possibly. It depends. The world of college basketball does not revolve around Duke, and Carolina. There are other teams in march madness, too. Notre Dame is probably in it, and definitely Wake Forest is in it, and so is Miami maybe. Now could North Carolina make it to the Sweet 16? Possibly yes they I think are that kind-of team I think they could even go farther maybe to the elite eight I don’t think that North Carolina will be in the final four but you never know. No two March madness regions are alike. They are played in different venues around America no two brackets are created equal. Just remember that UMBC Golden Retriever Dogs with Ryan Odom the coach game versus Virginia upset in Charlotte, North Carolina a few years ago that is a classic example of what can happen in March that really stands out even to this day.
@@Gonzoweirdo1 You stated all of this when the guy only said in the March Madness loop. That could be at anytime during the tourney smh.
@@rtee48 I think that there could be another UMBC type game with Virginia possibly in somewhere like Greenville, South Carolina that could easily go down in history it could happen you never know that’s why March madness is so great. It could happen in the Midwest region that could happen in Fort Worth, Texas. It could happen in Indianapolis, Indiana. It could happen anywhere it could happen in Buffalo, New York somebody that’s a number 16 seed could go down to a number one seed where the crowd screams in Pandemonium in an exciting celebration cheering in happiness it could happen easily in the first round again. Dude, anything is possible in March! Yes a team could win to a number 1 seed. They could easily turn it upside down. That could easily happen again this year. A basketball team could be favored number one going up against a number 16 it could easily happen again this year, yes. Number one seeds though are always supposed to win. If you take somebody like Duke who is the number one seed, and you put them up against a team like a Cinderella like Colgate, you know that Duke is favored to win the game. So it happens but not always but it’s happened before. In 2019 though it didn’t happen it could’ve happened. It involved Duke. Remember Tacko Fall that tall Center for UCF? That game involved Zion Williamson. Also, it could’ve happened with North Carolina in a 2007 regional In Winston-Salem, North Carolina when Tyler Hansbrough was playing for North Carolina in Roy Williams’ third year. If the Colonels, then a number 16 seed of Eastern Kentucky, who they were playing, had beaten North Carolina that would have been Historic also. My point is it happens. It’s happened before, and it almost has happened or teams have given number one seeds a run. Also, don’t ever forget the Georgetown final four, and you know which one I am talking about that happened in Lexington, Kentucky on Monday night for the national championship that was a long long time ago but we all know that Cinderella the greatest upset ever. Also, how about the same year of UMBC versus Virginia the same thing happened but different to Loyola-Chicago In The Dallas, Texas Regional. You might have a bracket filled out in a week from now but it could easily get busted just try to fill it out but be vigilant about it. March is so unpredictable. Nobody will ever know what happens. Another classic example is what happened in the I believe it was 2016 national championship North Carolina’s Marcus Paige made that shot, and everybody said North Carolina is going to win at all, and then Kris Jenkins of Villanova won it all at the buzzer as he answers back. Also, North Carolina in Memphis played Kentucky the very next year, and Luke may needed to win for North Carolina so he made the the buzzer beater it could’ve easily gone out it went in that sent North Carolina to Phoenix, Arizona for the final four. That year they won the national championship to Gonzaga in 2017 North Carolina won it was Roy Williams’ last championship. Also, in 2012, North Carolina was favored to go to the final four in New Orleans where they are holding it this year by the way, and in the Midwest region In St. Louis, Missouri, Kansas beat North Carolina to go to the final four. North Carolina put on a good performance that night they gave them a good show but unfortunately Kansas outplayed North Carolina in a heartbreaking loss. They outsmarted North Carolina that night. Of course we all know Christian Laettner against Kentucky I’m not saying that is the reason for March madness in itself but honestly it’s the greatest said to be the greatest final seconds of any March madness game ever. That same year what really hurt them was Kendall Marshall in the region in Greensboro, North Carolina busted his hand so he couldn’t play. You also are very aware what happened with Louisville’s Kevin Ware that same year I believe it was. Also, who would’ve ever thought that Virginia would have redemption after losing the very next year by winning it all with Tony Bennett after losing that iconic game of UMBC by winning it all. So, you just never know. But I love this time of year! 🏀
@@Gonzoweirdo1 Had to re-visit you. How does your long soliloquy look now? This is March, anything can happen as you should know. The guy said what if and here we are, never in tournament history, Duke vs. UNC. Not gonna kill you too bad, the odds were in your favor. Hopefully you're rooting for the right team. GO HEELS!
Nah K there are only so many Michael Jordan’s in the world. Doh 😣
Coach K made this game all about him and now he has to wear it rather than blame 18-year-olds whom he failed to prepare properly and who were left to scramble when K made poor tactical decisions down the stretch. K was from 1985 to 2006 easily the best coach in college basketball, making 11 final fours. But then he decided he was more interested in outcompeting Kentucky for one-and-dones than he was with sustaining his previous success -- perhaps it flattered his ego to consistently reel in top-3 recruiting classes, and he delivered for those players who used Duke as a one-year launch pad to the NBA.
But that change costs the team and the program. Since 2011, Duke has made it to a final four only once; he only won two ACC regular season championships and his teams consistently placed lower in those standings that they were predicted to do pre-season. And it's not because the ACC got tougher with Big East teams coming in -- those Big East teams collectively have only one a single regular season ACC title. Virginia has won five regular season titles since 2014 because Tony Bennett has become the conference's best coach and by doing it the way K used to do it: improving players and teams over multiple years. UNC has won five regular season titles though only one since 2017. Miami and Florida State each won once.
Duke still has a top-10 team with a chance to win a championship in March, though that goal was undermined when K ordered his players after this game to sit on the visitor's bench, humiliating them and blaming them for his shortcomings.
That is hilarious! His players should have been sent back to their dorm. K’s game plan was point on. His players quit on him.
By the way: The greatest Tony Bennett is a crooner. Tony Bennett the coach isn’t a Coach K and he never will be.
Thats not true . even in his speech he said he didnt like it because it was too much about him . thats not true.
@@lenripley3 Since 2013-14, Bennett has a much better record in the ACC than does K, has five first-place finishes to K's two, and has a more recent national championship, all done without a single recruit ranked in the top 20. Even with Bennett having his weakest team in eight seasons, UVA beat Duke this season in Cameron and with six of eight players getting their first real playing time in a UVA uniform this season, with the highest recruiting ranking of any of them about 70. Tony isn't Coach K -- he's much better, as his players NEVER quick on Tony, the mark of a great leader and coach.
Somebody should have asked if he might spell his last name one more time, just to break any tension he was feeling.
In middle school science class the extra point question was to spell his name on every test since the teacher was big Duke fan. Growing up in Chapel Hill it was tough to get myself to learn it but almost 20 years later I still know how to spell it. Krzyzewski
He is a legendary coach, great career. I think the entire last game thing was a bizarre spectacle. Over the top, ESPN apparently is the Duke sports network. Did you see the the students? Crying like a family member died. You get the feeling that these kids, albeit young 18-22, have lived quite privileged lives and never faced any negative adversity. Obviously some have but most have not.
No weekly breakfast with next Duke coach like John Wooden and Jim Harrick?
Like listening to Krzyzewski talk about basketball.He's won 🏆too much.Hard to root for him in his Sentimental Journey.Would rather listen to Doris Day.
Duke my team but they got out coached and outplayed.. UNC won before the game even started they was prepared and made all the adjustments needed through out the whole game.
What's up with all they disrespectful comments tonight? Y'all need to chill out.👀🤦♀️
In your face Coach K and Duke Fans! 🏀💪
All your guys have done so far, is break even this year. But I see you like to Crow, so go ahead, crow.
Duke stomped your heels by 20 at the dean dome
To have the unmitigated gall to schedule a celebration on the same day as a game against your hated rival... Could not have happened to a better person.
You know something a unc fan never mentions? The longest running scandal at a major university in history. 18 years of giving grades to students, many of them to qualify athletes to play. There's a few words to never associate with UNC; class, integrity, or scholar-athlete
@@charlielohr5252 Somebody's mad. None of that changes the fact that the Heels ruined K's party. 😆
Didn't coach k kick unc's arse at chapel hill, plus, will always be over 500 against them. Regular season champs by the way. And like I said, unc fans will never mention the scandalous behavior from their university. In fact, it's nothing new. Check out the sanctions they got during the Mcguire Era. Unlike you, coach K, with class, gave tremendous credit to unc's team.
@@charlielohr5252 Classy K shamed his players after the loss. His last game at Cameron was an L from Carolina. That is going to leave a mark... forever. Be blessed.
Coach k has as many national championships as deanie and Roy combined. Plus, there's an ACC tournament coming up, loser. The greatest ACC coach of all time. Just the facts, chump
The LeBron of coaching. 😂
Totally agree- ,2nd best to a TarHeel
Oh, come on don't tell me there wasn't a lot of pressure to win this game. The two games of a season your fans always demand you win are the two with the Tar Heels and vice versa for the Tar Heel fans. And especially this one which was your last one ever in Cameron. It's going to be a college basketball trivia question for all time. Who was Mike Krzyzewski's last opponent in Cameron Arena and what was the outcome of the game? And the answer will always be Hubert Davis in his rookie season as head coach of the UNC Tar Heels. And the score will forever be etched in all of our memories Tar Heels 94 Duke 81.

Do you know what would be Armageddon? It will not happen but if Duke, and Carolina play for the national championship. That’s because you have so many teams in different regions.

March madness can go any way. Carolina could get knocked off to somebody like Mount St. Mary’s or the Belmont Bruins in round one easily that could easily happen or somebody like that I’m not sure who or Colgate that could easily happen easily. We have seen it before. Duke could easily get knocked off to a number 14 seed in the first round at somewhere like Greenville, South Carolina that could easily happen easily which would end Coach K’s coaching career right there. So my point is, never underestimate March madness anything could happen anything. March madness is a wild thing. You have to understand. You have to understand that March madness is a wild time of year.
I love it that coach K brought up Jesus Christ Holy Catholic Church in the sacrament of confession and who he is not just a great basketball coach but more .
Jesus Christ and him alone.
@@edwardclement102 not true Jesus set up a church 1 church there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church because Jesus Alone set up his church and outside the ark no salvation read the Early Church Fathers and the Didache as Ignatius of Antioch taught by Apostle John said in 90 AD wherever the Bishops are let the people be wherever Jesus Christ is so is the Catholic Church. The only church well Christian church mentioned in the first century. God Bless You
K is STUMBLING all over himself because he is SO SHOCKED that his team LOST his LAST HOME GAME..... Mike, get a grip buddy! Yall did play well! Shot almost 50 percent from the field & almost 40 percent from 3...... THE HEELS JUST PLAYED BETTER! 😁🤣
Listen to his first statement. Literally said the exact thing
The defense was atrocious. Carolina's guards got into the paint at will. Every single possession there was dribble penetration, ball fed into the post, or an open jumper. It was hideous!! We did not fight through screens, we did not hussle, we did not stay with our defensive assignments. We could have valued the ball better offensively, but the bottom line is we scored enough to win, but we gave up a miserable 94 points. How many games are you winning in March while allowing 94 points?? Zero.
I wonder where you were when UNC got stomped by 20.
He brought this on himself.. Farewell tour is such crap!!! Coach Smith not Coach Williams had such a spectacle!! And he says he doesn't like all the attention!!?? Plz. If he didn't like the attention why did he allow it to occur??
@@timhill4695 Lol, the purpose of a final year was not for a farewell tour (which K genuinely loathes) but for 1) a seamless transition of succession that afforded a final and intimate tutorship for Scheyer; and 2) a final opportunity at championship glory that perfectly eluded the subpar team from a year ago. The "farewell tour" was an unwanted consequence of the two wider purposes.
"Do you feel like the legacy, your legacy, is tainted now losing to your rival on your final game in Cameron?" lmao.

Yes..straight to Hell
My dad said that he is the best coach
Your dad a smart man. As a duke fan, Roy Williams is also a great coach and a class act.
Sorry coach ,you been franked!

Actually, his legacy will be as probably the greatest coach of all time. He won as many national championships as deanie and Roy combined. Look at the record books for the truth, which haters can't handle
Unc 's legacy? The longest running scandal at a major university in history. 18 years of giving grades to keep athletes eligible. Don't ever mention the words class, integrity, or scholar-athlete in regards to unc.
@@charlielohr5252 He is a great coach. No doubt about it. But on March 5, 2022, his last home game, he made the game about himself. “My senior night”. And North Carolina gave him an L to remember for the rest of his life. The man says “the celebration was about me and I don’t like that”. He isn’t fooling anybody. They are good enough to win the title so he’s right to say the season isn’t over. I’m just glad Roy was humble enough to avoid the ME tour during his last campaign.

Have you ever listened to any post-game show by coach K? He always gives credit to the other team. Unlike Dean Smith, who used to whine about opposing players, coaches, refs, and even fans. Do your research and you'll see who was one of the most classless coaches of all time
Coach K is good about commending the opposing team, win or lose. Evidence is in many, many post-game interviews.
#GoDuke let’s get the ACC tourney title then #6
goodbye
Where was Zion , coach?? Lmao
He was in Durham but at the McDonald's.
And let me add, Coach K played by the rules. Greatest college coach EVER. What a class act !!!
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA
ROTFLMAO!!! WTF are you smoking dude????
Just look at the record books for the facts. The man has as many national championships as deanie and Roy combined!!!!
@@charlielohr5252 OK let's look at those record books then...
Number of years that Coach K coached at Duke where ONLY the ACC Tourney Champion got a bid to the NCAA Tournament? ZERO Number of years that Coach Smith only got an NCAA tournament bid if UNC won the ACC Tournament? TWELVE.
Number of Years Coach K had to try and get a bid to the tournament with less than 48 bids given? ZERO Number of years Coach Smith had to get a bid with less than 48 bids given? Eighteen.
Number of times Coach K went up against John Wooden (you know, the guy they named the Wooden Award after, the one that has won 12 Championships, more than any coach in history)? ZERO
Number of times Coach Smith had to go the Final Four where John Wooden and UCLA eventually won? Four
Total number of seasons coached by K? 42
By Coach Smith 36 (many of them in an era when far fewer games were played per season)?
By Coach Williams at both Kansas and UNC? 33
And finally overall winning percentage for Coach K? .766
Coach Williams? .774
Coach Smith? .776
Coach K has had an extraordinary career and has been extremely successful and I won't deny that. But whether to call him the greatest coach of all time or not is a matter of debate and opinion. Many would argue for Coach John Wooden, others might suggest Phog Allen, of course those of us who are UNC fans would argue in favor of Coach Smith, the people of Indiana could argue that it was Bobby Knight and finally Kentucky partisans would insist it is Adolph Rupp. That debate is endless.
But calling him the greatest isn't what has me asking what the Hell some of y'all are smoking. It's claiming that A. that K played by the rules (OMG I can barely type that without falling out of my chair in fits of laughter) and B. saying what a class act he is. He might not be the slimeball that John Calipari is but the man is far from classy in the way he bullies officials, throws his players under the bus when they lose and teaches them to flop over on the ground when they haven't even been touched trying to draw fraudulent charging fouls.
And whatever else you might try to claim about UNC or Kentucky or Kansas or any other team I've never seen a player blatantly STOMP on an player from an opposing team while they were lying on the ground like Christian Laettner did against Aminu Timberlake of UK in the 92 tournament. Yeah that's a class act of a program there buddy! And don't try to deny he did it because Laettner has gone on the record and admitted he purposely stomped on Timberlake's chest. He should have been ejected from the game for that shit and well then we probably wouldn't be talking about K winning 5 titles would we?

I never said coach K was the greatest, but his records stand for themselves, despite haters such as yourself. As for facts, Dean Smith had the greatest collection of raw talent in the country after John Wooden retired and what did he accomplish? 2 national championships that were decided by the other teams mistake. As far as class, go back and look at some of the many derogatory statements this man made about referee's, fans, NCAA officials, and worst of all, his insults about opposing players. Something coach k or Roy would never do. Although a UNC fan will never mention it, they have the longest running scandal in history at a major university. They gave grades to students for 18 years, many of them athletes, to make them eligible to participate. Don't ever associate UNC with class, integrity, or scholar-athlete!!!!
Glad we won't have to see this Varmint, snarling on the sidelines and in the refs ears ALL GAME LONG, crying about how his team is getting robbed!
Maybe we won't have to watch Duke teams flop or get tea bagged on every single fast break or drive to the basket against them EVER... Nah I'm sure he taught his sycophants the art of the flop way too well for that to change anytime soon.
Top 25. Anybody can beat anybody. K knows. Ohio State beat Duke. Lost to Michigan. Its how you are playing. Conf tournaments mean nothing. NCAA is what counts.
The spiky exhaust morally describe because wealth predominantly pull given a colorful era. meaty, tame fan
STOP MAKING EXCUSES, K! GIVE THE HEELS ALL THEIR DUE! 😁
He did give him the credit stop nitpicking
@@jasonalvarez9087 🤣....... BUT he didn't want to.... you could tell... or at least I could! Lol!
The Heels' due? He said we could have lost even if we had played acceptably because Carolina is such a good team and because they played so well.
@@boydhulin8447 he spent the first part of the interviewing saying they played great.
He didn’t make excuses he said the heels played better
Kentucky fan here: I get it I get it but it’s Mike K. I would’ve rigged the game if I were unc coach. What’s 1 loss, again I get it but it’s Mikes last home game. I mean cmon man!!!
Bullshit you don't lose cause it's a Great coach last game!!! They got out played!! Farewell tour.. Coach Smith and Coach Williams didn't have this spectacle... He brought it on himself. And UNC had to much pride after last game against Duke... Crazy if you think either team would lay down for the other!!
@@timhill4695 damn Tim calm down bro 😎. Again I get it, I hate Duke but it’s Mike K
It Mike K Tim!!!! Cmon man have some compassion
Never could be like Wooden
Yeah, he does not have a booster like Sam Gilbert.
Look up Wooden’s record before Sam got there and get back to me.
