This guy is making my head want to explode. What a friggin' moron. "Scott's a nice player, but would he start for UNC?" What a moronic question and what a telling statement about his baby blue bias.

"@CaultonTudor: 1 other thing re/M-Scott: When the entire offense is set up to get him the ball, he's going to have impressive stats." that's what really grinds my gears. He's leading the conference in shooting %, with double and triple teams!

With a name like Caulton Tudor, he can't help being an arrogant, closed-minded douche.
Yo! Caulton!

Haha, I was about to post the same thing. Caulton is getting destroyed when presented the stats. Needless to say this is making my last hour of work much more entertaining.

Just went back and read all of the tweets. Nice work, Jamie. He seems hell bent on ignoring any of mine. When I lived in Raleigh, I used to skip his articles because his bias was overwhelming. He's talking himself into a deeper hole now, he would be better served to just come out and say, "Ok, I don't think basketball exists outside the state of North Carolina."

Joe Ovies is getting in on the action now. Asked Tudor if it was the "Players that could start for UNC, but don't team" lol

Jamie, does Tudor have any respect or credibility in the sports journalism field?

Seems to me like he is just trying to rationalize his choices which really break down to him trying to appease the state he writes in and no one else.

I am actually convinced that Tudor only watched UNC games this year... not joking. I don't think he watched any ACC basketball outside of that.

Jamie already made this parallel, but his rationalization would then make Dulkys from FSU the Player of the Year. Haha

I will take Jamie's word for his reputation in journalism circles, but having lived in Raleigh for eight years I can say that the readers didn't feel the same way. I remember more than one column he wrote defending himself against the transplants about his bias toward NC State, Carolina and Duke. He did have a lot of nice things to say about UVA the year that we split the regular season title with Carolina, but after the loss to State in the ACC tourney he quickly turned. He has had a reputation of being uninformed on basketball outside the Triangle for a long time.

What's disgusting is you can shoot down every one of his reasons in about 5 minutes of research. I have another full-time job and know more about ACC basketball outside of the triangle than he does.

It is blatantly obvious how uninformed he is outside of the Triangle. It's frankly quite embarrassing and he should have his voting privileges revoked.
