Mike Krzyzewski Called for Technical Foul Against Virginia for Throwing Marker
Mike Krzyzewski is usually good about staying composed, but the Duke basketball coach picked a bad time to get mad. Well, his version of getting mad.
With just over two minutes remaining in the first half of the 2014 ACC tournament final, Coach K wasn't too happy with his team's play in recent minutes. The Cavaliers had a 23-19 lead, which led to a Blue Devils timeout.
Something pushed Coach K over the edge. He threw a marker out of frustration, and the referee hit him with a technical.

Coach K wasn't a fan of the call:

Virginia made the two ensuing free throws to take a 25-19 lead.
In case you were wondering, the marker already has a Twitter account:
"You think players decide basketball games? Think again.

As Duke basketball pointed out, it was the second technical foul of the year for Coach K.
