JettFlight5 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 As most of us have said, Coach K is a great basketball coach. It's the shots at the conference that the Saint Louis Billikens are a part of that have caused the lastest uproar. Last I checked, this site is called Billikens.com; that would mean that most of the posters on here are probably Billiken fans. So we're probably going to react negatively to an outside coach ripping the league that Saint Louis has won the last 2 seasons. I'd rather have Billy Donovan than Coach K as well.

brianstl Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Suddenly you like the VCU coach. Why? I am not the only poster who has observed Shaka's style of banging teams unnecessarily when the referees allow it... makes their Havoc press look better (his legacy), he runs up the score, Shaka gets more PR, he looks like a genius. Again, for example last year opening round, an already thin MAC team was missing 2 guards and Shaka kept pressing with a 40 point lead all the way through the final whistle, pounded the other teams kids physically, Shaka on the sidelines gloating and jumping and hollering, it was a disgrace. And I have never observed K as a pompous ass; it is your perception coming from your mental perspective. You better be careful. American Express pays a lot a money for the exclusive rights to publicly fluff Coach K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basketbill Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Not Duke's success I resent it is the arrogance Coach K displayed with his comment about the A-10. That said I do not let that color my opinion of him as a coach, he is damn good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ok to rip our current conference, just not the one we want to go to (the NBE) or the one we should have gone to (the MVC). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomble Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Side bar: VCU bragged that their band has a bus to taunt the SLU band. I'm happy they have a nice way to drive back to Richmond after losing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianstl Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Tell me the program you would rather have had at SLU the last 25 years, if you could miraculously transfer it to us, to SLU. Name it. Based upon winning %, conference championships, conference tournament championships, NCAA Sweet 16-Elite 8- Final Four and NCAA championships won, academic emphasis, lack of scandals, coaching leadership / sportsmanship / class, number of players that went to the NBA, players that went into NCAA coaching, Name the program. Name it, moytoyboy. Try to not just give a smart ass answer, fight your nature. It will be difficult, I know. NAME THE BETTER PROGRAM and tell me why. Why do I get the feeling that if by some stroke of luck we won it all, you would be on here the next day saying that we still aren't Duke, we got some luck because someone on another team was hurt, and it doesn't really count because we didn't face the grind of a power conference?

doowop Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Many big time programs have self-indulged PR "clowns" leading their programs. See Exhibit A - Coach K. GOOD post. Very accurate post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy they have a nice way to drive back to Richmond after losing. They were obnoxious and pissed off nbc producers. I get the feeling they won't be given such a free pass to block traffic next March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlarry Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Florida. I'll take Billy Donovan and Florida over Duke everyday. Give me Izzo and MSU. Every senior he has had at MSU has played in a final 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
