*Edited with link* Sore loser Coach K admonishes Dylan Brooks in handshake line

[anon_9qtxg60vqzy0y]

Told him he was too good of a player to be showboating. The kid made a 3 pointer with the clock running down. Big whoop. K needs to get his own house in order. Grayson Allen wouldn't shake Brooks' hand after the game.

If I'm coach, another coach better not talk to my prayers like that at all. It's none of their concern.

 

[Bkocats]

was it not obvious that he just threw the ball up? Don't think he was intending to make a basket so much as he was avoiding a shot clock violation
Sometimes crazy shots drop
K really needs to get a grip

 

[Smashcat]

I'm waiting for K to throw a chair.

 

[TheBlueDisciple]

Didn't K get upset and say people needed to mind their own business when all the Grayson Allen tripping stuff was going on?

I never saw the opposing coach lecture Allen, and what he did is about a thousand times as bad.

 

[Xception]

Hitting the shot was no problem , his reaction wasn't very respectful but it's not a big deal . We wouldn't appreciate somebody doing that to us but it's to be expected with teams like Oregon . You usually don't see elite programs doing stuff like that , there's an unwritten rule about what's acceptable behavior . Programs that rarely accomplish anything tend to express their excitement with no regard to the opponent . I don't think K should be teaching in the handshake line , he seems to be sensitive to petty things .

 

[Nubb16]

I wish he would've upped off the duke bench. That's about as much class as I have though I guess. Sometines life is good when your trashy

 

[Big Cat fan]

I think he's mad because the NCAA gave them a hard path. Rolleyes, I'm sure they were looking for a way for Duke to avoid a #1 seed but they couldn't prevent it in time. So they shipped them out west thinking the Ducks wouldn't guard those drives and hit those 3's.

 

[kyups01]

The stuff this man gets away with never ever ceases to amaze me (he's getting worse with age)....he better be glad I'm not a college coach cause I'd call his ass out every damn day. Believe that!!!

 

[JohnKBA]

You win 5 titles, I think you earn the right to be a bit ornery sometimes.

 

[wk1001]

X... does that unwritten rule include tripping players? Not once, not twice but 3 times. Or how about stomping players in the chest when they are flat on their back? Duke only wants to be respectful on their terms

 

[HexxenHammer]

No need to call him out in the handshake line. I'm sure Coach K could address that during his post-game congratulatory speech in Oregon's locker room.

 

[king of cali]

What's worse is that K denied saying it to him, as if Brooks made it up.

 

[DodgerDukie1985]

I was going to say that I only saw the two shake hands and talking, but then I read the article. I can understand where Krzyzewski comes from since the game was already well in hand and Brooks could have just let the shot clock run out, but at the same time, this isn't a big deal. I'd have just left well enough alone if I were Krzyzewski in that spot. Let Coach Altman take care of it in the locker room if he felt it was necessary.

 

[Cats192]

I don't think it was K's place. You let the other coach handle his players.

I don't think it's a huge deal either though.

He is such a hypocrite. Thinks he has the right to admonish a player from another team when his own punk on his team plays like immature child. I will never respect him. What a joke he is. The problem is that his butt has been kissed so much by everyone that he thinks it's ok for him to do things like this.
If I were the coach of Oregon I' be looking his phony butt up and tell to never ever talk to one of my kids like that again. He makes me want to puke.

 

[Cawood86]

Wrong, and you sure don't lecture another coach's players. Especially when one of yours is a dirty little punk on the floor.

I didn't defend K or Duke , thought about mentioning the trips but decided to focus on Oregon player and K's reaction . But since we're on it , I think K should have admonished his own player or came out and apologized for dirty tactics . Seeing as he didn't do that I don't share his disdain for the showboating by Oregon . That aside , the Oregon player looked like a jackass with his over the top celebration of a meaningless three .

 

[anon_013cn8yrfncx2]

maybe when your down 20 with 2 minutes to go rest the game can just be canceled. Have no problem with the guy putting it up. He wasn't trying to make it. But why get yourself a turnover to spare Duke's pride? No reason I can think of.

 

[Cawood86]

What's worse is that K denied saying it to him, as if Brooks made it up.

It's because coach K is a liar and a phony.

 

[DodgerDukie1985]

You let the other coach handle his players.

I saw Brooks say that he agreed with what Coach K told him. Not sure if he necessarily did agree or said that to take the high road, but whatever, not a big deal to me, either.
Definitely agree with you on this point. I said the same thing in my post.

 

[Cawood86]

K is a sore loser. Not his place to tell another player on the other team anything like that. If he cares so much about integrity why didn't suspend his OWN player for blatantly tripping other players and putting them at risk of injury. The reason he didn't is because he is a HYPOCRITE.

 

[katkraze]

Old and cranky coach K needs to retire

 

[KopiKat]

You win 5 titles, I think you earn the right to be a bit ornery sometimes.

No. Winning 5 titles means Coach K has a responsibility to the game that exceeds that of all other coaches. He should have taken it up with the Oregon coach.

 

[Cats192]

No. Winning 5 titles means Coach K has a responsibility to the game that exceeds that of all other coaches. He should have taken it up with the Oregon coach.

I don't even know that you take it up.

You wouldn't approach a parent in Wal-Mart and tell them to reprimand their child. Either they parent or they don't.

That said, was what the kid did wrong? Shot clock is winding down with extra game clock to kill. People often shoot a 3 in that spot. Are we mad that he took it from too far out? Are we just mad that he hit it?

Also, it's incredibly lame that K denied it. If you're going to get onto a kid that isn't on your team, be a man and own that.

All said and done though--who cares. UNC and IU vie for the elite 8 tomorrow, and I can't f$%^ing stand it.

 

[KopiKat]

I don't even know that you take it up. .

Most professional way right there. Agree. Respect the other coach / staff ability to recognize the condition and deal with it appropriately. Otherwise, your just openly saying they're not as smart as me to realize this is an issue. Very poor form.

 

[Cawood86]

He does these sort of things because he feels that he is THE authority when it comes to college basketball. The arrogance and audacity to do this just shows how pompous and hypocritical he is. Might carry a little more weight if his own player hadn't gotten a letter of reprimand from the ACC for his dirty play of purposely tripping other players.
I wonder if Mr. Integrity would have liked it if one of the coaches from one those teams admonished his player for playing dirty. Maybe they should have, because apparently he had no problem with it. Never suspended him or took away his starting position for it. Such a phony.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

OMG, he did deny it. That's a bald-faced lie with video evidence. So, not only was it a misguided move, he follows it up with a lie? Yeah, real classy.

 

[KingOfBBN]

I hate K. He's the biggest hypocrite in the game. He has been given such a BS manufactured image. His program has had multiple scandals, Chris Duhon, Carlos Boozer, Lance Thomas, Maggette, etc and the corrupt NCAA refuses to do anything.

I would have told him to STFU about someone else' s player considering Grayson Allen being a dirty player and refusing to help in the Lance Thomas case.

 

[GOING FOR #9]

I remember 1992 cawoods last UK game, the Duke game. K came over and got on the radio with Cawood and praised our team the game and all of that. Imo it's one of the most phony things I've seen from a coach. He is a gracious winner and a terrible loser. He is a deplorable person who has very little integrity. He loses it on officials and players in bobby knight fashion. Rat face has had a very nice career but it's been one I would say win at all costs. There are skeletons that will likely appear when he slides to dementia

I was inclined to disagree.

But then the more I thought about it.

He's able to recruit now as the coach of Team USA. He coached Kobe. He coached LeBron.
He's also widely regarded as the best coach in college basketball. He's the coach of Duke, one of the premier programs--and a lot people would say--THE premier program in college basketball.

Completely guessing--but I think from the view point of "I coach great players, this kid is a great college player" he felt it was ok.

I think to some extent, you're probably right.

 

[IL Wildcat]

Here is the most ridiculous part of it all... we all know that is Calipari had done the exact same thing, he'd get killed in the media for it, and rightfully so.

Was it disrespectful or showboating? Probably so. But was it Coach K's job to address it? No. If you were going address it, is the handshake line the place to do it? No way!

The other side of this: what if another coach had done the exact same thing to one of his players? K would come unglued.

 

[My BIue Heaven]

F-U.,
K!
Why don't you worry about your player tripping guys.

 

[Bigblueforever]

You win 5 titles, I think you earn the right to be a bit ornery sometimes.

 

[uky8unc5]

K has distinguished himself as an honorable man. So he probably should get a pass on this, even though he's way out of bounds AND lied at the Press Conference. Inexcusable but forgivable.

 

[UKCatnNC]

Good comments Bkocats. I did get a good laugh from the last sentence by changing "grip" to "trip". Have a nice day. Go Cats!!

 

[musrat59]

All this from the school that teaches the flop.

 

[pascat]

"You're far too good a coach to worry about an excited young player making a 3-pointer at the end of a game in which your overrated and criminally over-seeded team got their ass handed to them and then to blatantly lie about what you said at a press conference."

Guess you never played the game then - many things get addressed there. It's no big deal IMO, just typical reaching to bring down a good coach, just like they said Allen "push Brooks away at the end". Anything for media coverage.

 

[gracetoyou]

Coach K probably thinks since the shot clock was running down he should've given the ball to a Duke player so they could've run tbe other wsy, hit a 3 & made the final score 79-71...single digits.

But instead it ended 82-68...and it really got under K's skin
