Coach K "butt hurt" about Maryland leaving:
► On Monday afternoon, Krzyzewski talked about the impact of Maryland's departure with Taylor Zarzour in Charlotte.
"When you make these decisions, it's not about a big splash," Krzyzewski said. "It's about the splash and whatever ripples would occur. The ripples have to do with ending rivalries, ending traditions, ending what our sport is about. They'll have to develop new ones."
That means not continuing at least one old one.
"We won't schedule Maryland," Krzyzewski told Zarzour. "They left, and we're not going to have a relationship with them. We believe that the people who shook hands a number of years ago and said, 'We're going to make the ACC this great conference,' we'll lock arms with them and go forward with them."
