As a Tarheel, this great rivalry would not exist without this man. All the way back to the K v Dean days. This is a huge loss for basketball. The best games I’ve ever seen in the Smith center were UNC v Duke. Ever! Rock on.
@@40EastTrill Not true. The Blue Devils had very good teams in the 1960s going to the final 4 twice and in 1978 played for the national title against Kentucky. The rivalry with UNC was very strong back then also.
@@chrisoakley5830 They could've had good teams back then but it still wasn't a rivalry. At least not on UNC's end. Up until the mid 90s UNC's biggest rivalry was NC State. Duke was not even a threat.
@@40EastTrill I beg to differ. Duke upset UNC in 1979 in the last game of the regular season and it made national headlines. That's just one example of how big the rivalry was. UNC did have a big lead in the head to head meetings in those days but the heat between the schools was always intense. It goes all the way back to the days of the old Big Four tournaments that included NC State and Wake Forest.
The hubris is hilarious! Let me create this season long slobberfest for myself, plan the most ridiculous spectacle of the year for my last home game, then say I'm glad its over since I got my ass handed to me by a first year coach! He fucking narrated his own tribute video - it should be a parody its so insane!
dude takes the best players in the country every year and wins a bunch of games. what a trooper. some of these other coaches win national championships with players this guy couldn’t win a single game with. and he’s declared a legend. but that’s life in american sports: focus on the shiny object and forget perspective.
Yeah, but he built a program essentially from scratch 42 years ago that all the good players wanted to play for. He built a brand that attracted the best players
As a UNC fan what can I say..but as a rival he helped make the triangle THE place for college ball after NC State fell off a cliff.....such a good enemy and consistent excellence which drove us to be better.
It's going to be wierd without u coach k ever since I was a little boy growing up as a Kentucky wildcat fan coach u did break my heart on a couple occasions but I seriously am going to miss u u are the best college basketball coach there has ever been goodbye coach k u sir will be sorely missec
In my opinion it’s going to be tougher to recruit the top high school players in the nation with coach k gone. Most players are swayed by the basketball coach and not the college school itself. Also top recruits are influenced by a proven winning coach. That may be easier for Gonzaga and other veteran coaches to recruit now. Dukes new coach is going to have to prove himself and this may be the end of an era for duke basketball. Good luck coach your gonna need it.
@@40EastTrill I agree. He should have announced his retirement at seasons end. Then they still could have had all the fanfare and celebrating. It shouldn't be going on while the games are being played.
Glad its over? It was your choice to announce retirement pre season & have the farewell tour! UNC was an unranked bubble team at the time, lets call a spade a spade & say Dook was overrated all year!
@@karenenderle532 You dropped the mike & it bounced back up & hit you in the face! yes overrated! Dook top 10 all season #2 seed lost again to unranked #8 seed UNC with a 1st year coach over a coach with 45 years experience! Turns out it was Roy's retirement tour not K's 🎉
"I'm glad this is over"... LOL ... You created this farce, spectacle, if you had any class you would have announced your retirement at the end of the season. You know like the Tarheel coach did! But you want the praise and accolades, good rid-dens!!!! Go Tarheels!!!
Shame on all of you that bash coach k....you sound like a bunch of haters...sayin he is doin this for attention......he don't attention....his resume speaks for itself.....yall mad that unc lost in the first round and we are still goin.....thanx coach k #DUKE FOR EVA

Carolina Blue since 72 💙 great win for our program but much ❤️ and respect to coach K he's a winner and a great man good luck coach..😊🎉.

The rivalry existed long before the wharf rat came to Dook.

@@karenenderle532 Spoken like a true Karen
You’re spot on. He couldn’t go quietly and made it all about him and not the players.

Wow good point !
I love this guy and the way he thinks!!

The Brotherhood to me is his greatest legacy!
I’m die hard UNC fan so I naturally hate Dook, but I respect the hell out of this man. Enjoy retirement Coach

Said he don’t like being celebrated but went on a farewell tour smh
@@luchini_ap4853 He announced that this is his last season so the media could give him a farewell tour. He's always been a narcissist.

And then a few moments later UNC whooped that tail again

What tournament r you watching ?! 😂😂
he's glad this is over? that narcissist decided to have a farewell tour. Dean and Roy did not need to feed their egos.
Man gave me the custom jumpshot
Did Coach K just blame him self? This is weird
But did he admit that he was outcoached by Davis? Nope. Such an egomaniac.
I hate coach k and I hate duke. he was a great coach and a proven winner. A win over duke was always the best because you beat the best. respect
The poor guy goes from making 50 million a year to 30 million a year I would cry too. 😭
Are you on crack, no collegiate coach makes that much annually … coach k makes close to 10 million annually
@@Louweegeetheplugger Yes he's high on crack and/or has his nose up one!
He does not make no 30 million a year lol
Gotta stop coaching when everyone can pay players like these two schools have for years.
Lifelong Tarheel fan. Despise Duke. But I respect coach K. Great career.
This is a mensch
I’m glad UNC beat him like that now he know for sure not to come back to duke🐏🐏🐑🐏🐑
