Let’s see…..I think I see a few similarities.
Boss gets hacked. Does not like job or results of subordinate(s). Tweets furiously in middle of night. Calls in staff to chew them out. Revokes privileges. Only thing missing is that team has to wear a Scarlet (as in NCSU RED) L at all times.
Bosses are about 70. Bosses are high earners….one is Billionaire. Other earns almost TWICE what any of his peers (College coaches….FB or BB) earns.
Both are defiant….one has a Military Background and his Mentor LOVES the OTHER BOSS. Secretly, some believe that one boss actually DOES have his counterpart’s Make America Great Again Red hat….except it is a Custom one in Dark Blue with White stitching.
Both feel that their “team” has not lived up to their full potential and that they need to have micromanagement to achieve their goals.
I wonder if BOTH of them have ever studied and read about Jimmy V and how he could “mesmerize” a crowd or figure out how to fix things or manage his resources as the “Game” evolved?
Looks like a perfect opportunity for Grayson Allen to rise to the top and become the leader who salvaged the season so that he DOES get all his perceived Pre-Season honors.
If you look back in history, the young Allen has a certain “Fletcher Christian” swagger about him. Coach K is becoming more of a Captain William Bligh. Ever wonder WHY the laddies rallied around Mr. Bligh?

The first paragraph makes it clear…..the laddies did NOT want to march to the beat of Captain Bligh’s drum. They were like many of the so called “Enlightened Ones” of today. Sort of like the Grasshopper’s. Live life to the fullest and let others pay for your pleasures and then threaten and demand “entitlements” to sustain your lifestyle….while never contributing to the community bounty.
Mikey and The Donald…..probably would NEVER admit their similarities….but, to me, there are many.
I DO Predict that Captain Bligh, as in the eventual outcome, will prevail. Note, Wiki says the “Enlightened Historians” are rewriting the events. Wonderful….since there were Star Trek “videos” of the entire event, I KNOW that they will get it right….This Time….
