On another 40 year thing, it was great to see JB comment towards the end of last night's post game press conference (when fielding a question about such a venue advantage because of our fans, etc.) that in all his 40 years of coaching, North Carolina and Duke always (emphasizing always) play in North Carolina and close to home, a lot closer than Boston and/or Pittsburgh for that matter...he did acknowledge the benefit of being a high seed.
It was definitely great to see. I think he has great respect for Dion and how he has transformed his body and game. Here are some other examples of our coach showing some love.
I also noticed, when he was done answering questions and turned to leave and let Dion be interviewed; JB grabbed Dions' hand or wrist and gave it a little squeeze - like a great job type of thing. Thought the whole thing was great to see.
