Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski began the final calendar year of his legendary coaching career with a victory Tuesday night as the No. 2 Blue Devils knocked off Georgia Tech 69-57 in their first game since Dec. 22. But the win came came with a little extracurricular drama involving Coach K and Georgia Tech star guard Michael Devoe.
Devoe appeared to point at Krzyzewski after making a layup with 5:51 remaining that cut the Yellow Jackets’ deficit to 55-47. Devoe’s gesture came as Krzyzewski was signaling for a timeout, and it clearly did not sit well with the Hall of Fame coach. Krzyzewski had a long discussion with an official after the exchange, and despite the fact that the teams did not go through a traditional postgame handshake line, Krzyzewski spoke to Devoe after the game. He then had a long talk with Georgia Tech coach Josh Pastner.
