We finally found something that irritates Coach K and it came at the end of the Duke season last night in Anaheim where the Oregon Ducks pounded Duke 82-68. It was a three-pointer from Dillon Brooks as the game was ending. Brooks could’ve just held the ball, let the shot clock run out and give the ball back to Duke.
Instead, Brooks shot it. And drained the three. And it got Coach K’s blood boiling to be shown up like that. How mad was he? Brooks said Coach K let him know about it in the handshake line.
Here’s the three-pointer from Dillon Brooks at the end of the game.

Now for an outside observer watching in real-time.
Pretty sure Coach K had something to say to Dillon Brooks in the handshake line, and Dillon Brooks said "My bad."

Coach K responds to Brooks outing him.
Someone pressed K specifically on whether he said something to Brooks about celebrating. "I didn't say that."
