"I grew up in North Carolina. I grew up watching ACC basketball and I have always been a fan of his teams." Elon head coach Matt Matheny said about Krzyzewski after the game. "But the thing that stands out to me about him the most is that he is a great leader. He is a leader of men. To me that is a great role model. That’s what I told him after the game; he is an incredible role model for coaches and he is at the height of the profession, not only a national champion, he’s a national coach and I love the pride he takes in being the national coach.”

A Good, Post-Season Base Brawl

((HT: WCIV-TV Charleston))

Jeff Melillo of the Charleston Post and Courier got a good seat for this one- a Southern Conference battle between Elon and The Citadel...

Elon's Head Coach, Mike Kennedy, summed it up this way:
"It's a black eye for our university and probably for our league," he said. "It's two great teams playing extremely hard with a lot on the line, both playing for postseason play. It's unfortunate that it took place.

"I was very angry at (Elon players). We preach to them discipline and keeping your composure, and we didn't. Neither club did.

"It was hard. Your assistants are trying to pull people off, and every time you get somebody off, something else happens. It doesn't matter how important the game is, you've got to keep your composure."

The short version: Ninth inning, 3-2 lead for Elon... hard slide at the plate...
People discuss... punches thrown... Citadel Head Coach hurt a little bit..
Citadel wins in extras 6-3...

Here's a good 40 seconds of fun...
