...the potential is there all the time for a fan to just go up to you and say, 'Coach you're a [expletive],' or push you or hit you. And what do you do? What if you did something? That would be the story. We deserve that type of protection.

Step off the ivory tower, Mike, and realize that is just part of college hoops.

It sounds to me that Coach K is getting a little testy and needs to think about retirement. No one can argue that he isn't among the absolute coaching greats, but this kind of talk shows that he is coming unhinged a bit.

I'm sure that the saintly students at Duke have never said anything racist or off color to the opposing team.

What about what he said is false? I bet you'll be the same fans that throw a fit when a player from some team clocks a fans for rushing him while rushing the court. Wasn't it our very own Acie Law that rushed to cover his mother when our own fans rushed the court against Texas?

You, and anyone else that doesn't see the value in what coach K is trying to say, will see it when something does in fact happen to a player, coach, or fan...until then, flame away...

I am not a fan of Coach K, and I thought the security at the VA game did a good job getting the players off to the locker room, relatively untouched, but he is right about the court storming.

When the mob storms the floor, it only takes one moron to do something stupid, whether to an opposing coach or player, and all schools are capable of producing morons.

It's not real fun to be inside a mob or court/field storming when you are in the minority. You feel very vulnerable.

How are you not a fan of his? What is not to like?

Not really sure how any person can claim to be a fan of college basketball, yet dislike Coach K.
