Coach K Discusses “Uncle Tom” Controversy, Says Fab Five “Didn’t Establish Anything” At Michigan

Hey, remember when NBA analyst Jalen Rose called black Duke University players “Uncle Toms” in that ESPN documentary? And then a media firestorm ensued? For like two weeks? And then finally it seemed like it was over?

Well, it was. Until today. Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski went on “The Waddle Silvy Show” when former Dukie Jay Williams was co-hosting, and was asked about the incident. He said he didn’t want to discuss Rose’s comments … and then he immediately discussed Rose’s comments.

Coach K talked about how insulting the comments were, the decisions not to recruit any Fab Five member besides Chris Webber, and how the Fab Five “didn’t establish anything” at Michigan.

Listen to Krzyzewski’s comments below:

They sure could play basketball, but weren’t smart enough to be admitted to Duke, even with all the lowered requrements for some categories of students.

Thats typical of Gay K, he never sticks by his word. Let me enlighten you Gay K, my despise for YOU, YOUR BRAND OF BASKETBALL, YOUR UNCLE TOMS AND BMW DRIVIN PANZIES has VERY LITTLE to do with basketball. What little it has to do with basketball is you cheated all through your face off against U.K. in the 1992. The ONLY reason you won is because you and your team cheated and played dirty. Now, the MAIN AND MOST IMPORTANT REASON is it has to do with what you proved on the Waddle Silvy Show as you have MANY TIMES BEFORE when you said “I don’t really want to comment on that” THEN YOU WENT ON TO DISCUSS IT. You are not a man of your word, you are a fonie, a fraud, A LIAR and a loser fudge packer. GO AWAY GAY K GO AWAY!!!
Derty!

Man if you belive ANY of Cach K’s reasons why he didn’t attempt recruiting any FAB 5 players…I got a bridge to sell ya!!!!
