He is an embarrassment to Duke. The old man needs to retire. How they let him come back out after that mental outburst is beyond me. I hope they pull his contract after this....
Coach K goes off....
- Thread starter Dad2ze
- Start date
They were chanting "Jeff Capel Sit with us." I'm not sure what K thought but it couldn't have been good.
K thought they were taunting. He made a mistake.
Yeah that’s what I’m thinking also. I’m not sure if misunderstood what was being said, or misunderstood what they meant by it.
K's a man, he admits when he makes a mistake. Hell, Roy would have shot them all in the azz with his BB gun, and then had them escorted out.

They do that to a lot of people. I remember Tony Romo going into the student section after that chant.
hate to say it, but K overreacted. he did apologize though. Been a tough week for him and I'm sure that may have played into it.
Love Capel man.. Pitt got themselves a great coach
Glad K also said he made a mistake. Not sure what he thought the Crazies were saying but I’ll take going to bat for one of his own over something he “thought” he heard over anything.
I’m sure K’s nerves have been going crazy since Sunday. The guys are really his sons.

Here is what I still don't get about the whole thing, how does K misunderstand a chant that he's had to have heard literally hundreds of times? If this chant is used against alum then that's a pretty normal thing. Imo, even if they were chanting obscenities at Capel, K's reaction was over the top. If he did apologize, then great.
You never go full Grayson.

A loud environment, a man in his 70s.... things get misheard. I am 38 and I am always saying "Huh? What?" to my wife when she talks. Partly because I have ringing in my ears from a lack of hearing protection when hunting, partly because I am ignoring her. lol
He apologized. On National TV. It was a mistake and we move on.
I thought K overreacted and I’m not sure that’s really questionable. I thought it was a bad look..
However, I’m also willing to give everyone the benefit of the doubt right now. I think emotions are high about Kobe..it’s beyond reasonable and understandable one would be emotionally tired. The body doesn’t know the difference between being emotionally tired and physically tired. I’m sure his patience isn’t good like anyone who is tired. Also probably an overreaction due to it all and the feel of need to take care of your family right now.
It’s reasonable to give anyone a pass right now and not just because it’s Coach K.
Anything less is a bit ignorant and you just want to have something to go at.
Doesn’t make it right but does make it understandable.

I dont think Coach K overreacted one bit. If he thought the students were mocking Capel, then yelling at them to shut up is the right thing to do. We now know they weren’t mocking Capel, and Coach K apologized accordingly. No harm no foul.
Whole thing was just weird. I’m guessing, in retrospect, he must have thought they were meaning - “get another technical and come sit with us” or something like that. Strange but Capel is classy....they got a great coach.
Didn’t care for it. We already struggle to get the crazies to say anything original and this won’t help.
but it’s not a big deal and life goes on.

I love K but it wasn't the best apology. Hopefully he connects with the Crazies this week and makes amends.
I liked what Coach K said about it in the post game. He aplogized in the proper manner and said let's move on. Proud of the man. What's he supposed to do invite the student section over to his house for a cook out. I guess the next thing we will hear about this is a law suit because some one was offended or had their feelings hurt. Enough of the B.S. OFC
K has apologized, this is a non-story now. I'm sure UNC and UK fans will talk about this for many more weeks, but this is over.
Good grief, he apologize let’s move on to The Syracuse game. We all make mistakes, it’s over.
The apology police has said K needs to apologize better......good lord
I think everyone needs to put this in perspective. Coach K is dealing with the death of a young man that he thought very highly of, had coached him as well, and then have to coach against one of his former players 2 days later, one who was his top assistant, then to watch him get a technical foul, it's quite possible I would explode too.
I know what it is to have a lot of things going on, many not good. I can tell you I haven't handled them well at all.

I agree lol. I heard that he apologized because he didn't know what they were sayingHe is an embarrassment to Duke. The old man needs to retire. How they let him come back out after that mental outburst is beyond me. I hope they pull his contract after this....
K's been under a strain. He apologized, and perhaps it wasn't the best one ever, but at least he did. I'm not quite as old as K, but I know what it's like to be stressed out and not being at your best.
That said, let's put the blame clearly on where it lies. The unidentified 'sitter' wearing the black leather jacket in one of the front rows. He started this whole dang mess and K got confused with what was being said. He's a troublemaker, and needs to be found.
