Adrian Wojnarowski's hit piece on Coach K yesterday really was grossly unfair and to us anyway, didn't really seem to reflect reality. But he's entitled to his opinion.

For our money, Mike DeCourcy's Tuesday piece was more rational and when you look at what's happened since Jerry Colangelo and Coach K took over USA Basketball, it's pretty amazing.

It deserves immense credit, not Wojnarowski's petty rant.

Somewhere between Wojnarowski and DeCourcy is this piece by Adam Zagoria, which goes in a different direction, looking at Coach K and one-and-dones. We don't agree with everything here, but it's a lot more informed than Wojnarowski's ridiculous piece.
