Duke isn’t happy with North Carolina when it comes to a situation involving Coach K.
The Blue Devils played the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill last month and were upset that the latter didn’t honor Coach K. ESPN’s Wright Thompson first reported the news on March 2nd before Krzyzewski coached his final game at Cameron Indoor.
“Duke won that first game against Carolina—folks inside the program bristled that the Tar Heels didn’t honor Krzyzewski during the game—and then turned around and lost to Virginia, a well-coached team that gives Duke fits,” Thompson wrote.
Duke blew out UNC in Chapel Hill, 87-67 and it was Coach K’s final game there before UNC returned the favor at Cameron Indoor.
It was Krzyzewski’s final game at Duke before the ACC Tournament and NCAA Tournament as he tries to get a sixth national title.
The college basketball world doesn’t feel too much sympathy for Coach K.
No way grown people are actually upset about that. https://t.co/sq15pfAeNa

Why would you honor your biggest rival coach? https://t.co/wnsPWExOav

This is how you know it’s an unserious rivalry. Can you imagine State fans being mad OM didn’t honor a State coach? Or vice versa? https://t.co/atiyqMes3V

Love the presentations that they did for Roy and Dean after their retirement. Welcome to a rivalry. https://t.co/EfI02bWiF1

If these two teams meet again in Brooklyn this week, there will be no shortage of storylines.
