  They need to squash that beef before it’s too late. Especially since it’s really a petty beef.

  What? Coach K is well know to be a screamer and disrespectful to his players during a game. I’ve been to several Duke games; it’s embarrassing how much he yells at his “kids.”

Oh brother. This is exactly why K retired early. He wanted a farewell tour. Coaches retire when they wake up knowing they can’t do the grind. Bobby Knight, Dean Smith, John Thomson, Roy Williams, all the legends had succession plans when they retired but didn’t crave the attention so much that they wanted a season long goodbye tour.

  He doesn’t want a farewell tour since he’s not leaving the program. His main reason, which he stated, was to let future recruits know he won’t be there as a coach. 99% of coaches at any point in their career would not do that. Always one miserable person to create a negative to help them feel better about their own miserable mindset and life. Good luck to you

  @Dongle Pronk There are reasons many people despise Coach K despite respecting his record and rings. Pointing them out is far from being miserable. You’re simply not a critical thinker and blind if you can’t indulge in other opinions. I’m sorry you’re so offended.

This is the end of a great college basketball era, now that Roy Williams has retired and Coach K is about to start his retirement tour this upcoming year

What a legend! I don’t watch college basketball, but his impact on international basketball and the way he coached USA stars was something amazing

Hence Coach K said “I’m going to enjoy this year”. He’ll take his first NBA head coaching position after next year.
