North Carolina 81, Duke 77 F<\/span><\/p>\n There comes times when successful sports people call it quits, that people tend to come out of the woodwork to shower them with praise, or just show a whole lot of respect and grace, regardless of if they were a teammate, rival, competition or adversary.<\/span><\/p>\n When David Ortiz was on his retirement tour, the New York Yankees and their fans gave him a lot of respect, standing ovations showed a lot of grace.\u00a0 When Derek Jeter was in his final games, the Boston Red Sox reciprocated and showed a lot of respect to the Captain on his way out.\u00a0 Michael Jordan was celebrated in every city on his way out, and the list goes on for notable figures who were shown a lot of respect at the ends of their career.<\/span><\/p>\n But as far as Coach K goes, fuck the grace and dignity.\u00a0 Good riddance to this sniveling little troll that is basically the most reviled guy in the history of men\u2019s college basketball.\u00a0 As a fan of college basketball, I for one am ecstatic that Coach K fell short of getting to go out a winner, and once again, collapsed and lost in what should\u2019ve been one of the grandest highlights on his way out.<\/span><\/p>\n In fact, to some capacity, this really has been one of the best years of college basketball in my life, because Virginia Tech won the ACC Championship AKA the National Championship A, and Coach K choked in three different games which should\u2019ve been the coup de graces on his retirement tour:<\/span><\/p>\n And the way he lost in all of these, as a legitimate contender for success, only to fall short repeatedly, it\u2019s the perfect way to see Coach K ride off into the sunset.\u00a0 I\u2019ll be the first to admit that I was a little worried that Duke really was going to ride some wave of do it for Coach all the way to the National Championship-B, seeing as how they managed to not suffer their typical chokejob to some non-conference opponent, but the narrative of the journey couldn\u2019t have been written any better if it were done by Vince Russo.<\/span><\/p>\n Of course, it had to be North Carolina who sent Coach K packing, and of course, it had to be in their first-ever meeting in the Final Four.\u00a0 Of course this had to be the rubber match of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n And I let out a sigh of relief that North Carolina did their job and actually put Coach K down for good.\u00a0 I had a bad feeling of sports pessimism that Duke was going to get their retribution, and ride that momentum into the Natty B and actually win, and let Coach K retire as a champion, the ultimate baller way to leave a career.\u00a0 A way that should really only be reserved for true good guys in sport, like David Robinson, John Elway and Peyton Manning.\u00a0 Had Duke overcome North Carolina and won a Natty B, that would have exorcised all of their failures of the season previously, and Dook Nation would have been even more insufferable, if that\u2019s even possible.<\/span><\/p>\n But thankfully, the good guys won in the end.\u00a0 Frankly, once this game had passed, nobody will even give a shit about the actual Natty B game.\u00a0 Shit, I had no clue to whom Kansas was even playing, it\u2019s that irrelevant compared to the other side of the bracket.<\/span><\/p>\n Good riddance, Coach K.\u00a0\u00a0 And for as much dislike I have for his career, it\u2019s because he was a good coach. It\u2019s just he looked like a little troll goblin and always recruited obnoxious players whom his obnoxious school would make into hateable douchebags, but I digress.\u00a0 I\u2019m not supposed to be giving this sniveling goblin any respect on the way out.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" North Carolina 81, Duke 77 F There comes times when successful sports people call it quits, that people tend to come out of the woodwork to shower them with praise, or just show a whole lot of respect and grace, regardless of if they were a teammate, rival, competition or adversary.
