Charles Fischer Administrator No. 2 Share Posted January 19, 2022 This just muddies the Duck waters to me. On one hand she could be right about a "double-standard" in what Men can say versus Women during a game. Or maybe she is playing the "Sexist" card? Or maybe she is a bit more sensitive? Or maybe Graves did call her the "B" word, and that is not nice. Hard to know the truth! 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck Moderator No. 3 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I have no doubt there is a double standard, but it doesn't mean either side should cross that line. I am glad a coach can't act like Bobby Knight use to. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDuck No. 4 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Maybe I'm naïve but I don't see the coach of a women's team freely using a term generally considered derogatory towards women. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck Author No. 5 Share Posted January 19, 2022 What I hope this shows is that, as expected, tempers have cooled down. But if these teams can get to, "They really don't like each other" that would be great. As we have lamented, the Pac-12 doesn't have the passion found in other conferences these days. I remember back in the 70's, Kamikaze Kids time, The Pit did shake, Bill Walton, Marques Johnson said they loved and hated playing there, Wooden hated it. Overall, today, for crazy we have Cameron Indoor at Duke. In the final 5 minutes of a nail biter, it's as wild as The Pit was 5 hours before a game started. In Arizona, the crowd won't sit down until the opponent scores. Wow, that's intimidating. So, no, we don't want Bobby Knight, But a win over a hostile crowd on the road is as good as it gets.

DanLduck No. 6 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Sticks and stones! I wish people would just grow up. Names don't hurt anybody unless you let them. That said, coaches gotta show restraint as leaders. We all make mistakes, but flipping the bird to rival coaches on national tv?!! Not once but twice?!? Seems to me she has the problem and perhaps the word allegedly used fits. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastBayDuckDad Moderator No. 8 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Absolutely throwing shade at KG. It could have been "quit bit**'n about the calls, coach". Who knows, but I find it a little tough to believe that Graves would throw that kind of verbiage at an opponent's woman coach while coaching his own players, particularly women like Sedona Prince who are outspoken on the sexism issues in college sports. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good point. Coach Graves would be fried by his own team. Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
