Utmost respect to Coach K, maybe he said it, maybe he didn't. To not discuss it through the media, if he did say it, was the right thing to do. If he did say it, he has some more concerning issues in his own house (dirty player they showed clips of tripping opponents) that need to be addressed. Something like that s...

Voters also voted in 2014 (the most recent voice of the people I might add) to turn the Senate over to Republicans. As you point out, elections have consequences and one of those is their right to withhold even a hearing for the Presidents nomination.
