I loved Coach K's speech. Though his Judaics were not perfect, he clearly did some homework to learn about the story of Hanukah. And he was his usual funny, witty self. As others have noted, he comes across as very serious while coaching but he is actually very funny.
Unfortunately, I agree that I think the anti-semitic events on campus were part of what drove him to make this appearance. I would like to think that it is because Vernon Carey is MOT and Coach K thought this would help influence his decision, but I'm fairly sure that is not the case - I think he is about as Jewish as Fred Goldsmith...
