[QUOTE="EyeoftheIllini, post: 1561902, member: 623415"] I don’t see anything wrong with what Coach K said. Very similar to what Bilas said on the broadcast. There should be ongoing assessment of the situation. I know as basketball fans in general and Illini fans specifically, we want to see the season plow forward so there is b-ball and the Illini can take advantage of the team it has. Is that the best thing to do? I don’t know, but very possibly not. Should there be ongoing assessment of situation? Absolutely. As to the timing of the comments, sure doesn’t look great. But did he just blurt out that comment or was it a response to a question on the situation? And as to why he played the game — because it is his job to. Coach K might be a powerful coach, but I highly doubt he has the power to hold his team out when the administration says they’re going to play. I realize a lot of people hate Duke and Coach K — I’m also not a fan of either — but this criticism seems kind of silly to me. [/QUOTE]
