Coach k

Dude is almost 70 yrs old and is having back surgery on a herniated disk.

How bout some of you bozos show a little class?
A herniated disc doesn't happen instantly. It occurs over a period of time I'm sure he has known about it for a long time. Just seems odd that he would wait till the middle of a season to have it addressed.
 
First someone spikes his nest with D-Con and now he sprains a vertebrae getting off the wheel this morning.

He had three surgeries last off season and coached USA basketball. Not a lot of time in there.
 
Saw that he will coach Weds at GT, and then step away. Oddly, he missed the game at GT last season.
 
I think Goodman had K's nuts in his mouth to long! Got a bad infection maybe even elephantitis of the nuts and its making his back hurt.
 
I hope the recruits are watching.

But I'm sure reoccurring back problems get better as you turn 70 and have more surgeries, so Capel can go back to spreading his bullshit about Kentucky.
 
Wait, this is real? I thought the other threats was just a joke. So this really is happening. Wow, dude saw the writing on the wall and exited stage left.
What do you guys think will happen with future recruiting if this season is a bust? This is a huge deal.

I have the same problem, and have known about it for over 20 years. A herniated disc is painful because it presses on a nerve. You can have or decline to have surgery.

It can get worse in some cases though. Every case is not the same

Exactly. If his team were undefeated, ranked #1 and Allen wasn't a dirty player that got caught again, I doubt this surgery happens.

Coach K to have lower back surgery, miss games


Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski will undergo lower back surgery on Friday to remove a fragment of a herniated disc, causing the Hall of Famer to miss up to four weeks coaching the Blue Devils (12-2 this season). The news was announced Monday.

Duke associate head coach Jeff Capel will fill in for Krzyzewski. The procedure will be performed by Dr. Allan Friedman at Duke University Hospital.

“Dr. William Richardson, Dr. Friedman, and our medical team have worked tirelessly to help manage this issue for several weeks,” said Krzyzewski said in a statement. “Together, we have determined that surgery is the best course of action at this time. During my recovery process, the team will be in the capable hands of Coach Capel, Coach James and Coach Scheyer. As soon as the doctors clear me to do so, I look forward to returning and giving our team 100% of my energy and attention, which is certainly something that they deserve.”

Duke plays next at home on Jan. 7 against Boston College.

This goes to show people you can have a dream team on paper but until they do it on the floor it don't mean $hit. Welcome to one and done K a world where Cal is the master and your lower back is killing you--indy
I find this story as funny as anyone else but we shouldn't throw stones from our glass house. We've had a few Cal teams that didn't perform up to expectations also.
