Oregon coach told player to take late 3-pointer that angered Duke, Coach K
With time running out in Oregon's 82-68 win over Duke in the Sweet 16 on Thursday, Ducks' star Dillon Brooks took a 30-foot 3-pointer that sank through the bottom of the bucket.
Following the shot, he turned his back, saluted emphatically, and earned a talking to from Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski in the process. That set off a news cycle of controversy, partially incited by Krzyzewski denying the conversation's existence.
Friday, Oregon coach Dana Altman attempted to deflect some of the controversy away from his star player.
At a press conference for Saturday's West Regional final between Oregon and Oklahoma, Brooks was asked what he did wrong regarding the final shot.
