I have a couple of problems with Coach K. There's an unwritten rule among coaches that you do not talk to the players on the opposing teams. Should the last shot have been taken? No. But don't be a bitch about it if you're the other coach. This isn't the first time Coach K has had words with an opposing player after taking an ass whoopin...
Secondly, and as I said above, he has one of the biggest punks in college basketball on his team who has intentionally tripped opponents on more than a couple occasions this year. Any coach with a spine would have made sure his player would have never done that again after the first time he tripped someone. Worry about your own damn team dude.
Third, he tried to lie about his comments after the game because he knew he was wrong and should've just shook hands and left the court a gracious loser. Speaking of handshakes, Grayson Allen, the guy with the tripping issue wouldn't shake hands with some of the Oregon players.
I really can't stand this rat-faced prick. I lost all respect for him when one year, when early in the season it looked like he had a shitty squad so he bailed on the team due to a bad back. He also wanted the losses taken from his record after he was out. I don't know many coaches who would have gone to the efforts he did to make sure this was done,
He also had a run-in with an Indiana player (Hartman), at Duke earlier in the season.
Bravo, well stated!
