From the article:

Responding to an Associated Press reporter's question about Barack Obama picking against Duke in his much-hyped tournament picks which were broadcast on ESPN today, Krzyzewski said:

"Somebody said that we're not in President Obama's Final Four, and as much as I respect what he's doing, really, the economy is something that he should focus on, probably more than the brackets."
​

It's rare that I agree with Coach K, but I do here. And, in doing so, I also have to say that as much as I respect what he's doing at Duke, really, making it to the Sweet 16 for the first time in three years is something that he should focus on, probably more than responding to someone having enough common sense to pick against his overrated team.

Sour grapes. Probably doesn't like the fact Obama picked UNC Chapel Hill to win it all and played pick up hoops with the Heels during his campaign.

Yeah,that's it.

I thought it and was glad Coach K said it.

Kinda agree with k, too, but definitely agree with the person who wrote the article about the rat.

This is dumb. It takes two minutes to fill out a bracket, I'm sure other Presidents did it too, Obama just made a deal with Andy Katz to publish his.

i hate to break it to you guys but Roy pretty much said the same thing in his post game presser this afternoon.

 

[Bootay]

you guys are morons. he's a human being, and it was 2 minutes. I think it's pretty clear he's spending plenty of time on the financial crisis. Coach K (and Roy if he actually made similar comments) needs to stick to basketball.

What is Obama going to do about the economy? Spend more money for pork projects? I would rather he just stick to filling out brackets.
