Coach K inserts foot in mouth again
From the ACC teleconference today, Coach K had this to say when asked if the referees did a good job of handling the Henderson situation:
Yes (pause) I think they did a good job. There’s a lot going on in a short period of time – the blood, the crowd. I'm not blaming anybody, but it's just unfortunate, and the person it's most unfortunate for is 'G' because, that wasn’t his intent and that's not what he was doing during that play. I believe that with all my heart, head, and whatever.
Did he really say it is most unfortunate for "G" (as in Gerald). How about the guy with the broken nose?
Then CBS'
Gregg Doyel really let him have it! Check out this exchange:
How many games did you suspend Christian Laettner for when he stomped on the Kentucky player? (Gregg Doyel, CBS Sportsline)
First of all, would you call that a stomp?
Absolutely, I’ve seen it over and over.
Well then my judgment and yours differ.
I’ve got some glasses. Are you serious?
I’m not going to get into it with you, because you would always want something controversial.
I would just like the truth sometimes, that is all.
No, believe me. There’s nobody that likes the truth more than me. After the season we’ll talk about 1992. I would rather talk about 2007 right now.
I wish I had a youtube of Laettner's stomp which was as close to a stomp as you can get. But I'm sure Coach K's judgment differs from mine.
