SIAP/OT: Coach K lectures, lies about it.

[J_Heater]

http://nypost.com/2016/03/26/coach-k-creates-laughable-euphemism-for-lying-in-apology/

Not sure why this isn't being talked about more other than it's Coach K and he's untouchable. But imagine if Calipari or any other coach did this for that matter.

He lectures an Oregon player for shooting the ball late in the game and the Oregon player brings it up in his post game. Coach K denies ever saying that. SO the guy flat out lied but then an audio of it surfaces and instead of Coach K coming out and saying I lied, he says "I reacted incorrectly". Not lied, he reacted incorrectly. How many other coaches would get away with this.

Coach K would have went his whole life letting everyone think the thug from Oregon is lying while the sparkly clean white coach from Duke was innocent until that audio showed up.

Not sure how Coach K could ever find the time to lecture any other player on sportsmanship when he has so many dirty players on his own teams over the years.

When u r one of the gods of college basketball, u can't say or do anything wrong. Just ask Boeheim and Rick Pitino.

 

[unoHawkeye]

It's not so much that he lied that bothered me; it's the idea that he completely threw the Oregon kid under the bus in order to avoid looking like a jackass that I found really childish.

But like you say, it's Coach K, so even when he's wrong, he's right.

 

[Ronman]

It's not that Coach K is untouchable. It's because this is so expected of him. Great winner.....Horrible loser!

 

[J_Heater]

ESPN today saying it's easy to take shots at Coach K because he wins so much. No they are taking shots because he lied and was hoping everyone would believe him over the kid.

The only guy on ESPN that didn't seem upset that Coach K was getting some shit nationally was the host who said well that's all and good but when my kids lie to me and I call them on it do I accept it when they say "Dad we didn't lie we just reacted incorrectly" They all laughed like it's okay if Coach K lies. It's acceptable.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

Hey, I read where he has now apologized to the kid and the Oregon coach. Only question is how sincere was the putz?

 

[Slappy Pappy]

Tressel 2 waiting to happen.

 

[RockEyeState]

And Coach KruZewski wonders why there's so much HATE for Duke.

You just added to it, KruZewski by proving you're a lying Sack.

That, on top of having a player who gets caught tripping other players and it sort of hurts the image.

What parent would condone sending their kid to play for KruZewski, knowing he is a lying
Sack??

 

[SWIowahawks]

I didn't find the comments to be bad at all. I don't know why he decided to lie about it.

That happens a lot...........it's often not the offense, but the COVER UP that proves the
SACK is a SACK

 

[OC_Hawk]

Much ado about nothing here. Krzyzewski was asked about what he said to Brooks following the game without any sort of heads-up that Brooks had already spilled the beans that it was a teaching moment. He felt it was a moment between the two of them only and there wasn't a need for the media to be in on it. Now, I don't know why he doubled down on the lie when it became clear that Brooks *had* already told the story, but whatever.

He was right. Brooks is a good player. And to show up the opponent bench in a double digit ballgame with time running down is bush league. If he wants to apologize to Altman for not letting him be the one to say something to the kid then that's one thing. But if the expectation is for him to say that he's sorry for lying to the media I have a problem with that. Why does the media have to be all up in everyone's business post game? Sure, a guy like Peyton Manning could probably have his farewell conversation with a rival coach over the phone, but sometimes it's just part of the moment. There's nothing wrong with that in my opinion.

 

[HoustonREDHawk]

Holier-than-thou weasel face. He can work officials when his team is killing the other team, but a kid can't toss up a shot as the clock is winding down. It isn't like Brooks went to the basket and did a windmill, 360 dunk, as time ran out.

Earlier this year, Coach K also skipped shaking hands with the players from another team after a loss (can't remember the team), and he is lecturing others about sportsmanship. Maybe it is time to call it a career.

And let us not forget Roy Williams and UNC who are participating in the NCAA tournament even though they have been committing academic fraud for 20 years.

Coach Hypocrite...not only his not shaking hands, but has he never had a player that was cocky when beating another team? Probably, only, the most famous d bag of all time at it in Christian Latener(sp)......and I'm willing to bet a few others. Duke and it's players have often reeked of cocky and arrogant, and then he criticizes this kid. AMAZING.

I have a different view, 1. Coach K. basically said the kid lied when he told his version of what was said. The kid was the one that was honest, Coach K. was dishonest. As far as it not being the media's business, A terse no comment should have been Coach K's response instead he made it into a "story" by saying he did not say what the player said he had told him.

As far as a teaching moment, The kid shooting that three ball was not nearly the transgression that his own player has committed on numerous times this year, Coach K. should have been much more concerned with providing Grayson Allen a very valuable teaching moment, It would have been nice after the first tripping incident, Since it continued to happen and he had several chances at a teaching moment one has to believe that he felt teaching his own player a valuable life lesson was not as important as winning games.

I am not out to hate on Coach K. I have never heard anything in regard to illegal recruiting, Kids not going to class, Etc. It seems he runs a clean program, He should not be preaching to other coaches and players on proper court etiquette when he has Christian Laettner stomps and Grayson Allen trips in his closet.

 

[laidbackdude2011]

What I can't understand is why anyone isn't talking about the fact that he flat out lied. I mean he literally said "I DID NOT..." And if it weren't for the camera that picked it up, he would have stuck to it.

I agree. When he "lied" about it I just think he was trying to keep it from being a big deal - unfortunately the reverse happened.

I also don't have any issue with what he said to the kid - in fact the kid agreed with him.

However, I don't hate Coach K, so I guess I don't see it the same way as those that do.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I didn't watch that game too close, what did brooks do wrong? I remember him making a very long three late but I thought the shot clock was winding down

 

[StopCallingItAscrum]

Agree. Not so much relating to this, but it truly amazes me how many people in this world will lie to save face or make sure their company, school or whatever it might be doesn't look bad in the public eye. On one hand it's sad and pathetic, but on the other end it just makes you so angry.

 

[WORTHYWISH]

That's what I remember. He only shot it because the shot clock was going to expire before the game clock. Coach K is a dikkhead.

 

[GPRHAWK]

It can never be sincere knowing that the only reason he apologized was because he got busted by the microphone. I can't remember if he was flat out denying when he "responded incorrectly" before the audio came out, but he wasn't apologizing.

So you agree Coach K was in the right to lie about it and allow the media to think the kid was lying.

Unreal what a winner can get away with as long as his fans can rationalize it in some way by making Coach K out to be the hero.

He was just trying to keep it from being a big deal. That's the justification for lying about what a kid said.

Poor Coach K, guy just can't catch a break.

He didn't bow down and suck Coach K's dick like the people justifying his lying.

He shot a long 3 and celebrated at the end of the game. You know things Duke players do all the fricken time.

 

[ZumaHawk]

1st off, most on here agree Coach K is wrong..... He is dead wrong. The shot clock is running out or it's a turnover. Every coach says to play til the whistle blows. What if a team is up by 20 with 2 minutes left? Are they supposed to give the ball to the opposing team & not finish the game out? Imo, Coach K is 100% dead wrong.

 

[RockEyeState]

I posted the same thing, above. No excuse for Kruzewski's telling BALD face lies, unless you're like 'some' politician(s) who think they're above the law.

 

[Ihawkhoops]

He flat out lied # 1 and # 2 his spoiled rich kid Grayson Allen has intentionally tripped about a dozen guys this year including the Yale guard twice. Did Dakich single him out as a coward? Did ESPN talk about it for 2 weeks? If you haven't seen them, You Tube it. I don't mean feet tangled, I mean blatant tripping guys while laying on the court, sticking leg out in front or in back of him to send the guy sprawling. Coach K covered for him by saying Duke is a target.

I don't appreciate the dickhead coaches who make it the point to "lecture" the other team's players. This was a favorite move of Knight as well. If Coach K had an issue with Brooks, take it up with Altman. Coach your own team, if you have an issue with how the opponent played be a man and take it up with the coach.

The rationalizing and machinations to spin that Coach K didn't just flat out lie about the whole thing are hilarious. But he's Coach K and of high moral character. So it's okay.

Agree with this. Coach your own players.

 

[uniFIGHTuniFIGHT]

What a scandal. I'm relieved that the truth was uncovered and that all necessary publicly coerced apologies have been made. I was sitting in judgment of Duke's coach. Now I'm standing and basking in well-earned righteous glory. Egregious wrongs have been righted thanks, in part, to me.

Get away with? He is being roasted!

Justification? Coach K screwed up, I just don't think the intent was there.

Rationalize him to be the hero? I haven' heard anyone say that.

C'mon Dawg! You're too good a poster to showboat like that!

 

[grosie#2]

When it comes down to it coach K learned from the best, Bob Knight. Although he's not as bad as Knight he still has the Knight attitude. I'm better than everybody else and what gives anyone the right to question the way I coach basketball.

*** The pinheads at Espin, plus the dolts that lap up this stuff, worship
Coach Kruzewski like he was the second coming. LOL just a lying sack

 

[Myvue]

You could tell coach K turned more than usual into the players face at the time it happened so I figured he wasn't planning on anyone reading his lips. It seemed to me I could read the players's response "Oh, I'm sorry". Charles Barkley and the other post game guys but especially Charles thought it was great and that Coach K was just giving a teaching moment.

Is there a link to the post game interview by the player or K's interview? I didn't hear what was said by K.

When asked if he lectured the Oregon player, he said 'NO".

Later, CBS Sports showed where he had done just what he said he had NOT done.

Nothing tricky, here. You just have an arrogant LYING old fool
