Down in Durham, far from the courthouse tower in Manhattan where college basketball’s soul is being stripped bare, the most powerful coach in the game decided to weigh in.

And by weigh in, Duke University head coach Mike Krzyzewski didn’t weigh much at all, preferring to tell everyone not to trust their lying eyes concerning the testimony and evidence about just how corrupt to the core his sport is.

“I think it’s minute,” Coach K said of the tales of payouts, influence peddling and bags of cash testified about in the federal fraud trial of two sneaker executives and one would-be agent. “It’s a blip. It’s not what’s happening.”

A blip? It’s not what’s happening?

This is ridiculous and absurd and, well, most of all disappointing because this is exactly what’s happening.

Krzyzewski, as college hoops’ winningest and most famous coach, either knows it or should make sure he knows it. His grip of the game is significant, five NCAA titles bolstered by the three Olympic gold medals. His influence spans the sport, from LeBron James Sr. to the LeBron James Jr.

And yet we get this?

Sorry, but this is no blip. This is reality. Maybe, somehow, someway, Krzyzewski lives in such a cocoon that he doesn’t have to deal with any of the bottom-line characters that this trial has delivered – the eager-to-be-paid father in Brian Bowen Sr., the ambitious middle-man and would-be agent in Christian Dawkins and the unapologetic bag man in T.J. Gassnola.

Go Gophers!!
 

Meanwhile word comes out that Zion Williamson may have been asking teams for money so may just be wishful thinking on K’s part.
 

What is he talking about? He must live in a bubble. There are bag men around for a lot of big time programs especially in the SEC.

The system is so bias in favor of untouchables like him, Roy Williams, John Calipari, and Bill Self. Rick Pitino got caught because the case against Louisville involved the FBI due to the nature of allegations.

They just like to "enforce" NCAA violations against minion programs. The NCAA does not want to bite the hands that feeds it.

Coach K is the worst of the bunch by far. He propagates an image of Duke academic and moral superiority and "doing it the right way". He is a parody of himself. Coach Cal...at least he's transparent and realistic.

Don't worry about brokenbrain. He has issues......and has some odd vendetta against SelectionSunday for some reason. I'm assuming that's the 'ss' at the end of dishonesty.

Block M speaks the truth. K is a phony. Pitino had to go because he was running scum a long time. Hell of a coach though.
