Watching post game Duke events for coach K.
He took the mic before the planned festivities to quickly address the crowd, unscripted.
Just commented on the game that had just concluded, with I'm sure an ending he didn't like.

But he just said the result was "unacceptable." Was a very strange moment. Nobody, it seemed, knew how to react to that comment.
His players were sitting there and it just looked very uncomfortable. Not a good way to start off the honoring of his time at Duke by the president, AD, etc.

Weird.

Weird or a great coach pissed off about his team’s focus, toughness and execution against an inferior opponent and rival? There is a reason he is one of the greatest coaches ever. I hate duke, but I respect the hell out of his coaching ability.

Well that's OK, and I agree.
But expressing being pissed off about the team could have waited till the locker room, not embarrassingly in front of people who were there to honor his accomplishments.
There was total silence after his comment. No one applauded his great coaching ability in doing that.
