But hey, he just wanted to point out to everyone that their celebration of basketball was phenomenal. Such an amazing example of someone winning by any means necessary, then acting like a little angel afterwards. This was, of course, after Duke beat number 1 Syracuse at Cameron Indoor Stadium in a game decided by a call so controversial that Jim Boeheim got ejected for running across the middle of the court yelling, "That's bullshit! That's bullshit!" Their celebration of basketball up there and our celebration of basketball down here was phenomenal." Coach K My personal favorite Coach K quote tweet, however, is this: And again, the shitty thing isn't that he said that, the shitty thing is that there are people out there who care what a basketball coach thinks about cell phones and video games. It probably wasn't intentional, but "imagine" is the perfect word because that's the same kind of trite bullshit you'd see on a John Lennon poster in some Duke freshman's dorm room. Now I don't know if Coach K is sitting in his office all day emailing these inspirational quotes to whoever runs this account or if he said that in some interview or if it's just made up, but "sometimes we need to think, dream & imagine?" Fuck you. But sometimes you have to put it all aside to think, dream & imagine." Coach K "We use phones all the time, play video games, that's cool. Let that sink in for a minute.ĭid we mention that Coach K was more than just a coach? In addition to being an oracle of wisdom on the nature of family and romance, Coach K is a scholar and philosopher of Life: Even if he's the best basketball coach ever, which he very well might be, what impact does his 45-year marriage have on what he does on the sidelines? Does he use stories about the time he and Carol fought about the sink of dirty dishes back in 1972 to rally the guys in the locker room? I guess cares for the same reason Tiger Beat magazine writes about what Joe Jonas's favorite color is: those 983 career victories and four national championships are so dreamy! It's important to note that the black and white picture on the top left corner was also avatar for a little while. So much more. I know whenever I see a rom-com or hear a love song, I immediately think, This is just like the Platonic ideal of all romantic love: the marriage of long-time college basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski and his wife, Mrs. Of course he did, that's what college basketball coaches are there for, but we all know that Coach K is more than just a basketball coach. He taught them what love and family are all about. K!!!! Thanks for showing us what love/family are all about. Happy 45th wedding anniversary to Coach and Mrs. The account has everything from your run of the mill postgame quotes from Krzyzewski to the straight-up odd, like this one about Coach and Mrs. Really, it's uncanny how pitch-perfectly these tweets capture the tone of "Duke Basketball." There's the Coach K worship that is every bit ingrained in "Duke" as Christian Laettner's shot in the 1992 Elite 8. And if you love to hate them, then you'll REALLY love to hate bizarre lengths it goes to brag and the unending worship at the altar of Coach K. So if you love that program, you'll love how thoroughly this account covers their every accomplishment. Duke Basketball is a program people tend to feel especially strong about one way or another, sort of like the Yankees, except Duke is actually still really good.
