Coach K will take on the dueling banjos of PTI tonight, and tomorrow at 9:20, he'll be chatting with his verbal sparring partner, Dan Patrick, on whatever channel Patrick is on in your neck o' the woods.

USA Today picked up on the interview and noted one of the more surprising takeaways is that K has never been to Chapel Hill. That's pretty hilarious, and I can't say that I blame him. In his shoes, I'd probably make the same choice.
That said, Chapel Hill is a very nice place to live minus all the hideous blue. Also, there are a great number of excellent places to eat.
Also funny is that K placed Dan Patrick on his 25 most hated list.

Coach K seems to have great Chemistry with TK and MW. I think his wit and sense of humor is very much aligned with TK's in particular. I loved the part towards the end about "finally getting to talk about me." Most Duke-haters would just say that is typical Coach K arrogance, but those guys get that he is just messing around.
Also, you could tell from the video editing that the interview was longer than the usual 5 minutes and they jumped around to the questions/bits they liked the most (this was reinforced by coach K at the end saying "we're 8 minutes in and you're finally getting to talk about me"). Coach K really is a great interview.
IN the past 5 years, Durham has pulled miles ahead of Chapel Hill in the dining scene. And in the past 10 years, Raleigh has pulled ahead as the social scene for people over 22. Chapel Hill is pretty much left to the baby blues and the people who have to live with them.
