Investigative Journalism Wanted
Here's a question I recieved multiple times while out drinking Monday night, but haven't seen any mention of it in the sports blogs:
Who voted UNC #1 in the coaches poll?
It's a ludicrous vote - although the team is light-years beyond all expectations, no one in their right mind thinks they're the best team in basketball. And it sure as hell didn't come from the modesty-above-all-else Tar Heel coaching staff. I'd think it would have to be one of last week's opponents, and it doesn't really sound like a Blue Devil thing. Leitao maybe?
Journalists have ferretted out coaching votes before - Steve Spurrier always puts Duke at #25 in the first football poll of the season, for instance. Does anyone with a coaching rolodex want to let their fingers do the walking?
