Coach K disses Obama's basketball picks

[a kennedy]

From CNN Political Producer Peter Hamby

The President predicted that Duke's archrival, North Carolina, will win the NCAA tournament.

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski isn't thrilled his team got snubbed by the leader of the free world.

"Somebody said that we're not in President Obama's Final Four, and as much as I respect what he's doing, really, the economy is something that he should focus on, probably more than the brackets," Krzyzewski told a reporter from the Associated Press on Wednesday.

1. Uh Coach K.

You're only responsibility is a bouncing ball.

2. Krzyzewski is a real jerk

man I dislike him...I wish Obama could cave that little mouse's face in.

3. Wow! You and trumad actually agree on something!!

4. Ugh, what a nasty and predictable response.

Yea, Obama, shouldn't you spend every waking moment on the economy.

We know how realistic that is. :eyes:

5. Didn't Obama "Right Hand Man" Reggie Love play for Coah K?

11. Yes, Love played for K - and was teabagged at a UNC frat

Coach K supports Repubs; Dean Smith and later UNC BB coaches for Dem's.

After graphic pictures of Love had flooded the net, when Duke next played in Chapel Hill the UNC students had 6000 teabags at the game.

6. Why is Krzyzewski worried about brackets?

That has nothing to do with his team. I doubt Krzyzewski would even pick Duke to win it all.

7. It's kinda taken out of context when you watch the video.

He's not bitter like I thought he was.

10. maybe he should just spend every waking moment on basketball

and let those who know a little about policy do their thing.

12. Unlike others

Obama can multitask

[PRETZEL]

13. After that asskicking he got last nite,

maybe Obama knew a little more than he thought.

[Upton]

14. I don't know about that

Obama, in his brackets, had Duke defeating Nova.
