Is Coach K Right to Criticize Obama for Focusing on His March Madness Bracket?
President Obama made his March madness tournament picks for ESPN on Wednesday, choosing North Carolina to beat Louisville in the NCAA championship. Here's what Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski had to say about the president's choice: "Somebody said that we're not in President Obama's Final Four, and as much as I respect what he's doing, really, the economy is something that he should focus on, probably more than the brackets." Is Coach K right? Should Obama focus less on brackets and more on the economy? Post your thoughts.

coach K's comment
This is not a hard concept to understand...Obama ran for and was elected to public office, and not just any public office. But I shouldn't have to tell Leroy that. Coach K doesn't have to spend every moment on the job coaching persay because he is a basketball coach, not the leader of the free world. Obama wanted the job, now he has it, and it shouldn't be spent appearing on ESPN, filling out brackets or calling White Sox pitchers after perfect games. Coach K didn't say anything inappropriate and anyone who criticizes Coach K for criticizing Obama is probably either a UNC fan, one of the sheeple who voted for Obama, or both.
Just win
Coach K get a life. How are you worried about what the President says about your team. Be quite and just win
Who Cares
What Obama did is just part of being in the Office. Presidents have to light Christmas trees pardon Thanksgiving turkeys and I'm sure that there are more pressing issues during all of these events. If coach K was serious with this statement he's an idiot I'm sure not every moment he spends on the job is coaching.
