On Oregon’s final possession during Thursday night’s victory over Duke, Ducks star Dillon Brooks took and hit a deep three-pointer as the shot clock wound down, then celebrated wildly. Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski reportedly talked to Brooks about showboating in the handshake line, leading to a great deal of controversy.

Friday, FOX Sports radio host Colin Cowherd asked Oregon head coach Dana Altman about that final possession. Altman took the blame for Brooks’ shot, claiming that he told his player to chuck it up. He says he didn’t want Oregon to record another turnover in the stat book.

It’s more likely that Coach K was upset with Brooks’ reaction than the shot itself, given what’s being reported. But it’s nice to see Altman standing up for his player. Oregon gets Oklahoma on Saturday with a spot in the Final Four on the line.
