I had a feeling there was more to it than just being pissed his team didn't win and the way they lost...Coach K has never seemed like the type to do something like that, especially when coaching against one of his good friends... ------------------------------------------------------------------ [URL='http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/team/_/id/150/duke-blue-devils'][U]Duke[/U][/URL] men's basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski skipped the end of the handshake line after his team's [URL='http://espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=400839200'][U]64-62 loss[/U][/URL] to [URL='http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/team/_/id/183/syracuse-orange'][U]Syracuse[/U][/URL] on Monday night, but he didn't do it out of spite, says Orange coach Jim Boeheim. On Tuesday, Boeheim defended Krzyzewski on his radio show, according to Syracuse.com. He said Krzyzewski unintentionally missed a few handshakes after the game because he was distracted by some Duke fans who were yelling at Syracuse's players, according to Syracuse.com. "He came down the handshake line, somebody told me from who was sitting there, that he was upset with some Duke students who were yelling at our players," Boeheim said. "He was looking at them. The referees were long gone at that time. I heard people on radio today talking about how he was looking at them, but that's not the case, from what I understand. He wouldn't do that. He doesn't like Duke students yelling at players. He's very tough about that. He's as classy as any coach." [/QUOTE]
