Thank you, he'll be here all week folks
Carlton beat me to the punch on the Williamson entry. It's a weird feeling to turn on ESPN and say, "Hey, I covered that guy when he was playing against Reidsville!" Really glad to see him do well. Too bad ODU doesn't have a football team. Then again, given the way other QB-PGs in the past have done, maybe that's not such a bad thing.
But I digress. What I really wanted to share with you is a joke that Coach K shared with the media today.
"When they heard about this incident between State and Wake, it went to the commisioner's office, and then the commissioner came down and said, 'Yep, we’re going to suspend Daniel Ewing.' It wasn't my joke. I'm just passing it on. But I did get a good laugh out of it."
Then Krzyzewski paused for a moment and added ... "Actually I said, 'Did that happen?'"
For those of you who don't get it, here's the context. Mild-mannered Ewing - at least that's what Duke believes - has been whistled for four techs this season. That's at least two more than the volatile Dantay Jones got during his time in Durham. It's gotten to the point now where the Blue Devils just laugh and shake their heads when Ewing gets T'ed up.
K later added this one-liner as well:
"I'm sure no North Carolina fan, after seeing me coach in Chapel Hill, would say I have a sense of humor, but I do have one."
