ESPN college hoops analyst and former coach, Seth Greenberg, was not happy with Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski’s staff after their loss to UNC in Coach K’s final home game.
After the final buzzer sounded, a number of Duke assistants were seen snubbing North Carolina head coach Hubert Davis in the handshake line. Which Greenberg took issue with on Twitter.
“Really disappointed in how [Duke] reacted to the [UNC] coaching staff after the game,” the analyst tweeted. “Unacceptable. Respect the game and your opponent. This is a simple rule. A lesson coaches need to demonstrate to their players.”

One of the few marks on Coach K and the Blue Devils program over his 42 seasons in Durham is that they aren’t always the most gracious in defeat.
Here was the scene after the game caught by former coach Jason Staples:

This sets up for what could be a heated trilogy in the ACC Tournament should Duke and UNC matchup again next week.
That’s definitely one that will replay in Davis and his staff’s mind the next time they see their rivals.
