Duke’s men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski caught a flak on Saturday night after the Blue Devils lost their third straight of the 2020-21 season with a loss to Louisville.

Krzyzewski gave a tense answer to a question about the team’s direction after the loss. The question was asked by student journalist Jake Piazza.

“Why don’t we just evaluate this game,” Krzyzewski said. “I’m not in our next step right now. We just finished a tough game.”

The coach asked Piazza what his middle finger was and when he responded with “Econ,” Krzyzewski decided to compare a regular season college basketball game to a difficult hypothetical test.

The legendary college basketball coach was criticized almost as soon as the clip was released on social media.

Duke is in a position the program has rarely been in over the past few seasons.

The Blue Devils are 5-5 overall and 3-3 in CCA games. The team has dropped out of the standings and is set to finish outside the Top 25 in the Associated Press poll and be out of the NCAA tournament if they don’t shape their game.

The Blue Devils still have a handful of games on the schedule and a quick turnaround isn’t out of the question, but games will only get tougher from here.
