Altman took the high road and said he told him to shoot it so as to not take another turnover. Doubt it's true but no matter, as you said I would speak to K and tell him to worry about his house and not mine.

Classy move. K should take notes.

I have never liked coach K. Looking like a ratface and coming off as condescending isn't a great combo. I hope he loses every game he ever coaches.

I'm too 'polite' to express myself that way, but when someone else does I laugh.

The guy has become a classless dolt who thinks he is bigger than the game itself. The way he runs after refs after losing and the faces he makes at opponents recently has me believing maybe he is losing it.
Is he a good coach - hell yeah but lately he has become more a product of the media and the media will hide all the negatives - geez - sounds like the guy who makes believe he was president the last 7 years BUT at least K did something positive in prior years

From a competitive standpoint, I can't stand the guy. His team gets all the calls, the most outrageous one being the Winston charge no-call from the last NC - that was a huge, very obvious no-call. Don't like the whole whiny, preppy white guy theme either.

That written, the guy is 100% class. He came out and acknowledged that he gave the kid a comment, that he was wrong to do so, and that he's sorry that he took away from the other team's revelry and attention. One of the best apologies that I have seen. Much better than the, "I'm sorry if my words were misunderstood/caused pain" garbage that passes for apology nowadays. Guy manned up and owned it. I'm okay if he didn't say, "sorry I lied." Not necessary, and, to be fair, he was reacting to an interview question after a tough loss.

In our world, overrun with victims and the misunderstood, people should take notes.

Oh please, he denied saying anything after the game, and then probably realized it was plain as day to the masses about what he said. He had no choice but to man up to it. And we didn't need him to say he lied - we all know already, he's a liar.

He finally manned up and owned it after he denied it and was outed. He said the kid was a good player and shouldn't have taken that shot. He was right. He just shouldn't have said it to begin with and then lied about it.

here.

If that audio doesn't leak that never acknowledges it again and makes the Oregon kid look like a liar.

Less hatred towards coach K than the narrative the media created around him. Those pizzas of turds created something to make a story and create hype. Some of those are the same pieces that loved to rake JC over the coals. Yep its about image. Superficial bs that elevates the so called class guy who appears to be proper over the so called crass guy who doesn't couch his statements. But I'll take that crass dude any day in the trenches because he's the guy who will more likely watch your back.

And now the media will defend their guy because otherwise they would have to admit their narrative was wrong.

That is one of the best sarcastic posts I have ever read. Almost felt real. Congrats. It was very entertaining to read.

Ugh, how is it class to only when you are cornered by audio being released and everyone paying attention to the story, own up and be honest about what happened?

It would have been classy if he had sat Grayson Allen for a game after his second egregious tripping incident mid-season, he then would have been able to criticize another team's sportsmanship after a loss
It would have been classy if he hadn't said anything negative to the kid after losing the game
It would have been classy if he had owned up to exactly what he said when confronted about it in the post-game interview.

Coach K showed zero class in this incident. I feel like people sometimes concentrate on the wrong layers of this story though. I don't think K necessarily took issue with him shooting the 3, more with the taunting after it.
I agree it isn't great sportsmanship, however, you play for Oregon and even though you are the 1 seed playing the 4... it's Duke. Duke is consistently considered the Alpha of college hoops, the true ideal program that is perfect and never wrong or untalented. Coach K loves this, clearly, and he repeatedly uses it as a crutch to make baseless arguments after games. He claimed that the only reason anyone cared about Grayson tripping people was that he played for Duke. If someone tripped Grayson like he trips people, K would probably do a press tour to smear the kid and the team for being such awful sportsmen and demand the NCAA suspend him for a game or two. If you are any team that doesn't have tons of tournament history, if you beat Duke in the tourney you are going to celebrate, so K should understand that these are kids, and kids don't keep their emotions in check as well as most adults.

So to me K had no grounds to criticize anyone's sportsmanship since he refused to even acknowledge there was anything wrong with Grayson's play. Twice in the Yale game he tripped the same guy, so he can swallow any thoughts he has about sportsmanship and how kids should play. Lying about it afterwards? doubling down on being an inconsistent scumbag
