Journalist did Riley a service

If I'm SCNG, I would punt on the credentials (no pun intended). The policies that make it tough to do good work are still in place. It is not worth it have access at the sake of actual journalism.

One of my biggest pet peeves. It's not reverence, it's putting the guy on an unnecessary pedestal. If you're a reporter, he's Joe or Lincoln or Bill or whatever.

And that shirt's not limited to the stick-and-ball sports. At the Masters when the Augusta National chairman has his press conference, the majority of the golf scribes address him as chairman. Yet I'm pretty sure none of those scribes are members. I complimented a colleague once for calling the guy by his name and he scoffed, "I've known him for 30 forking years. He's Fred to me."

Shake my head when people in the biz, those who should know better, use phrases such as "Coach K." He ain't Coach K to anybody who didn't play for him.

Brings up one of my philosophies: If you're in a decision-making position, you get all the info and make the decision, then you rescind the decision a few days later, you SHOULD NOT be in a decision-making position.
This applies more to the new AD, who is a veteran. She should have known better.

I get the sentiment, but the dude is "Coach K" because his name is Krzyzewski. Everyone on earth calls him Coach K for a pretty solid reason.

No one is asked to spell his last name while saying it aloud.

"The Duke coach" and "Shu-SHEV-ski" are three syllables. One more than "Coach K." Not too onerous.

OH THANK YOU JESUS.

"Hey Shawhewahwieweaewski, what's up?"

Or just call him Mike.
