I've never understood the anti-Duke (or anti-Carolina) sentiment, and I live a few miles from both schools. Coach K is a stand up guy, he's run a very clean program over the years, built a dynasty, and don't forget brought home some Olympic gold.
Is this like hating the Yankees because they win too frequently? You'd rather see Kentucky or Gonzaga or some Big East school cutting down the nets every year instead? Or maybe you think Louisville is a better representative of the conference? Rubbish.
I want to see good games every night. I want the ACC to be the preferred choice of the best HS talent in the nation. I want to watch Virginia win it all. I want to see NC State get its third title. (And yes, I want the tournament held in Greensboro...every year. Period.)
A rising tide raises all the boats. If Duke and Carolina pull in the five stars every year, GREAT! The four stars will want to play against them, to play on TV, and to go dancing every March. They will want to play for us...and the rest of the league.
Let's send nine teams to the Tourney every year. Let's have a legitimate beef that the 10th got left out. Let's own this thing (again).
So here I stand: Tech first. The remainder of the ACC second. The rest of the country can go fly a kite. And THWG.
