Coach K, expletives deleted
To follow up on Mike Krzyzewski's self-defense on the working-the-refs issue, the News & Observer has followed up its cartoon lampoons of Chuck Amato and John Bunting with this animated parody of Coach K, taking his American Express ads a few steps further. How does this one rate with Chuck Dynamite?
Oh, and a shout-out to Patrick Eakes for digging up the Gregg Doyel link.
Upon re-reading it, I still feel the column was way too holier-than-thou and came from the ax-to-grind school of journalism. He writes as though Dean Smith stopped working refs when he was older, wiser and more respected. And why so anti-sneerite? You mean a man's facial expressions can erode their influence in college basketball? When Bobby Knight did his "game face" routine at the Final Four 15 years ago, did that diminish K's mentor?
