Some guy wearing a burnt orange “Fire Shaka” shirt behind UK’s bench in Lubbock.

lulz

Dok cracks the top 10 in the KenPom POY standings. Dotson still 1.

Up to Baylor to salvage a tie in this Big 12 SEC Challenge. Yikes.

Lead recruiter Scottie Drew animated on the sideline.

Can't wait to find the video of K screaming at the Duke students to "shut up" because they did some chant directed at Jeff Capel. Post game interview was comical as well.


Edit: they chanted "Jeff Capel sit with us" and K lost his freaking mind. He's such a unique creature.

There is nothing unique about K, he’s just a petty bitch

Can we get a little Hilton Magic tonight please?

Just an absolute petty little douche. And, wrong the whole time. Again.

I wonder if that outburst had to do with the passing of Mamba. We have all seen K with the 'holier than thou' routine but even this is out of pocket for him. Dude just snapped.

Click on the link in my previous pots and wonder no more. If you take his word for what it's worth.

Out of pocket? I thought his bench outbursts were quite well known. He's also chastised the student section before.

Re: Kobe, I say give me a break, brother. I think K wanted a little more attention.

Overall bench outbursts you might be right. I can't recall those right off hand. We have also seen him get on the student section before but I can't recall him going after them like that. That much of an outburst seemed odd to me.

Again, you might be right and I will say that he and Kobe were pretty close so death has a weird way of mixing with emotions. It is weird to defend Coach K because I do believe his persona has gotten kind of old but with everything going on I am inclined to give him a pass on this one.

His issue had nothing to do with Kobe. He didn't think Capel should get teased because "He's one of us. He's one of our own." Give me a break.

How close are we assuming K and Kobe were? Closer than Shaq and Kobe?

I ask only because Shaq said the last time he spoke to Kobe was at Kobe's final game where he scored 60. So I honestly don't know how much K and Kobe talked recently since both are incredibly busy. I would find it hard to believe they talked weekly or even monthly...but just a guess.

How much or how little you talk to someone doesn't change the heartbreak you feel when you learn they pass. I have friends that I talk to maybe once a year if I bump into them and I'd likely still be crushed to a point I can't explain if I found out they died in a freak accident. You don't have to talk to someone daily/weekly/etc to be close with them.

It's true when they say the quality of a memory is greater than the quantity of memories.
