A reporter asked Coach K what he thought of Obama's bracket (since it didn't have them doing anything of note) and he said something like "I think he needs to focus on fixing our economy and not worry about us."


What an ass, I hope they get bounced out in their first game.

Amen! How does he not realize why everyone hates Duke? Comments like these go a long way towards it. I am always the #1 fan of whoever Puke plays on a given night.

I got them going out in round 2 and my fingers are crossed. I hope Coach K does not look at these boards. Dont need him to tell me to get back to worrying about helping people rehab their backs and to stop being a fan with an opinion.

What a D-Bag.

Obama had an awesome answer for him, basically told him to shove it but in a classy way.

Can I get some actual quotes?

i think the ridiculous thing is espn subjecting me to showing the presidents bracket picks over and over..

what i don't understand is that i have a full time job and two small kids, but the Pres apparently is able to watch more basketball and play more basketball than i am able to....how is that possible..

that being said, Coach K is evil...

At first glance, this quote really doesn't seem like a big deal to me. What was he expected to say? That it was great Obama picked North Carolina? That he hoped the First Fan won his bracket pool?

i thought he was more so joking about the ecnomy thing, but whatever

He was joking...... and we all know 'toes is special.
