    Agreed. He shouldn't be in an elected position.

    But if the next Democratic president wants to put him on the Supreme Court, all systems are go!

    Does Dick Vitale's public oral sex on everything Duke related count? Or is that just background noise, like stupid Trump tweets?

    In all seriousness, sports journalism has gotten as bad as political journalism. The need to establish and stick by a narrative is stultifying.

    Over the last 5 years, who is more successful, Roy or K? Roy. The last 10 years? Roy. (If you pick a time period that includes 2010 but not 2009, that's not true.) Over the last 15 years? Roy. Over the last 20? Roy.

    I think you can make a very strong case that over the course of his career, K is the GOAT, even above Wooden. But the idea that K is the best coach right now is bugnuts insane. I'm not even sure Roy is the best coach, but it sure as ******** isn't K.

    You can't keep getting second-rounded in the years you don't win. And two rings does not a GOAT make. You know how many guys besides Wright are running around --or not-- with at least two rings? 14.

    Bob Knight
    Billy Donovan
    Dean Smith
    Mike Shuh-sheff-sky
    Roy Williams
    John Wooden
    Jim Calhoun
    Rick Pitino
    Denny Crum

    plus Rupp, Iba, McCracken, Woopert and Jucker.

    Even more credit to the old guys, because BITD the tournament was a lot harder to get into.
    Pitino might have more if he hadn't let the ladies distract his program.

    I generally prefer college over the NFL or NBA. March Madness is a lotta fun.

    So if nobody resigns - Northam says he won't and Fairfax is sounding defiant - here's a possible way out for the dem party. Kick all three guys out of the party. They can make all the self righteous speeches they want, their guys stay in office (no GOP governor), and no legislator has to defend them when they are running for reelection. Northam and Herring didn't do anything impeachable, so they can't be removed from office (I don't know about Fairfax). If you can't remove them from office, remove them from your party. They aren't going to change their positions on the issues, and none of them will ever win another election again. It seems like a pretty neat solution, I wonder if anyone (that matters) will think of it.

    And then we have time until 2021 to figure it out. I like the idea.

    Now, like what? The last three years? You shrink a timeframe into that sort of irrelevance, Wright wins hands down. Look, I got no dog in this fight, don't really gaf about college basketball or college sports anymore, but some of the guys who would fall behind him in your flavor of the week competition have been winning natties for 20+ seasons. You do them an injustice even talking about who's been the best since 2016.

    He just might be. Then again, he might be the beneficiary of a competition that isn't yet as talent spread as NCAA men's ball. I think he and Wooden both are outliers.

    Fairfax's parents needed to stand him up in front of a mirror every day before school.

    You are not Brett Kavanaugh, son. Step tf down.

    Tbf, Fairfax should have to be suspended pending investigation. That is what makes sense, either that or at least a state dept of investigation start looking into the matter.

    Did anyone know the 4th in line, the Republican head of the Congress won by a coin toss. He lost by one vote. Challenged it and it was a draw so the final tie-breaker was a coin toss! What the actual Phuck!?!

    No, he has to step down. An investigation isn't going to clear him. What this is going to do, like the Cosby trials, is allow conservatives to essentially say, "See? We were right all along when we told our daughters to stay away from Black men". It casts all of us in a light that was screwed in by White males for centuries.

    He has to go before one Black man becomes the poster boy for every rape ever committed.
