Kyle Boone from cbssports said that The student reporter who received a rigid response from Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski after a seemingly innocuous question following the Blue Devils’ loss to Louisville on Saturday, got another surprise from Coach K. Jake Piazza, a reporter for the Duke Chronicle, said Krzyzewski called him to apologize after their tense exchange subsequently went viral.
Piazza, wrote about the incident Monday for the Chronicle. Piazza said their interaction was brief, but “the sincerity in his apology was genuine.”
Krzyzewski was asked by Piazza “what the next step forward here is” for Duke after it fell 70-65 to Louisville on Saturday. He responded by dancing around the question then going on the offensive, asking the student what his major was then talking down to him for not showing “empathy.”
