Oh ok. Furthermore he's not the 1st nor will he be the last to speak about Joe being from a different era in terms of the way they handled matters. If a person doesn't just come out and condemn Joe then they're supporting him or hitching their wagon on the train? What part of the game is this? From the way he answered the question it seemed like he didn't want to comment on it at all and tried to stay respectfully in the middle. But its K who's reveered for his coaching so of course he's in the line of fire the minute someone mentions it to him.![]()

2nd: I hate when people see negative words (or even neutral sometimes) and act like it's worse than it really is. We're not taking shots… or at least I'M not taking shots… at Coach K. Like what I just said about your allegiance to Duke, I could see someone (or yourself) saying "Oh snap! Ska taking shots at Cake!" And they'd be wrong. You're a cool dude on here, at least in S&T. No shots fired here; just calling a spade a spade. Same w/ Coach K: his defense of JoePa was flat out wrong. Imagine for a second that instead of a child sex scandal, some OTHER evil was coming to surface here and Coach K was offering the 'back in the day' defense. I could throw out a number of 'back in the day' evils for you to consider, but i'd rather not; just use your imagination and imagine Coach K offering that same defense.
3rd, refusing to call wrong 'wrong' is exactly what lies at the very core of this entire thing. Now, Coach K refusing to call wrong 'wrong' w/ his comments, is that as devastating as JoePa not blowing the whistle? OF COURSE NOT, but it's the same thing to a MUCH lesser degree.
You're Right Tho.

You're Right Too.
Should've listened to Daniels wife...
