Duke men’s basketball coach Mike Krya;laxpouadltkaxzski is a horrible person. Name an atrocity that has taken place within the past 100 years, and he can be held personally responsible. Yes. Even that one. But without a doubt, his most egregious offense is his bastardization of defense. That is, the mainstreaming of “taking a charge” as a legitimate defensive strategy. It used to be, that waiting timidly for another player to run into you would be frowned upon as weak, gutless basketball. That was until the floor-slapping “big hearted” white guys from Duke discovered that by emasculating themselves before superior players, they could compete on the same level with far better teams (that is, every other team in Division I, and some Division II teams).
Unfortunately, the soulless abyss of Durham, NC seems utterly incapable of feeling shame, or in taking any pride in themselves. As a result, the rest of us are cursed to put up with this insanity until a meteor destroys tobacco road, or until the Large Hadron Collider destroys the earth.
