Coach K apologizes to Altman for
postgame chat with Brooks

(AP) - Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski says he has apologized to Oregon coach Dana
Altman for his postgame conversation with Dillon Brooks.
In a statement issued March 26, Krzyzewski said “it is not my place to talk to another
team’s player” and he hoped he “did not create a distraction” for the top-seeded Ducks.
Oregon lost to Oklahoma 80-68 on Saturday night in the West Regional final of the
NCAA Tournament.
Brooks hit a long 3-pointer with the shot clock expiring in the final seconds of the
Ducks’ 82-68 victory over Duke on Thursday night. In the handshake line, Krzyzewski
had a prolonged discussion with the Oregon guard - and video of it immediately went
viral.
In the statement, Krzyzewski said that chat “took the focus away from the terrific
game that Dillon played.” The Hall of Fame coach also apologized for responding “in
correctly to a reporter’s question about my comment to Dillon.”
Brooks managed just seven points with three turnovers before fouling out against the
Sooners, but the Canadian forward said the spotlight on his postgame conversation with
Krzyzewski wasn’t the reason.
“I’m still the same player,” Brooks said. “I’m just going to learn from this and rally
for next season.”
Altman dismissed Krzyzewski’s concerns after the Ducks’ loss to Oklahoma.
“He'called and apologized, and 1 told him he didn’t need to,” Altman said. “Some
one that has accomplished what he has accomplished and makes a comment to one of
my players is perfectly fine with me, and it didn’t bother me at all. It bothered a lot of
people. It didn’t bother me. It didn’t bother Dillon, and Dillon’s response proved that.”
In the locker room after Thursday’s game, Brooks said that Krzyzewski told him
“I’m too good of a player to be showing (off) at the end.”
In his ensuing news conference, Krzyzewski disputed Brooks’ version of events and
appeared angry when it was brought up.
“I didn’t say that,” Krzyzewski said. “You can say whatever you want. Dillon Brooks
is a hell of a player. I said, 'You’re a terrific player.’ And you can take whatever he said
and go with it, all right?”

A day later, Altman defended his leading scorer, saying Krzyzewski should have ap
proached him - not Brooks - and that he gave the order to shoot because the shot clock
was winding down.
“I told Dillon to shoot it. So if anybody’s got a problem with it, it should be directed
at me,” Altman said. “He was acting on my orders. I told him to shoot it. I didn’t think
he’d make it. It was a 30-footer, but there was a five-, six-second difference there.”
On Saturday, Krzyzewski expressed regret about the situation.
“Clearly, the story that night was about Oregon advancing to the Elite Eight, and the
outstanding game they played,” he said. “I sincerely hope I did not create a distraction
for coach Altman and his team at this critical time of year. Certainly, I have the utmost
respect for the Oregon program and their tremendous accomplishments.”
Statement on New Pell Grant
Program Costs from CBO
“Today, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released new data projecting Pell
Grant program costs that are significantly lower than prior estimates. Program costs
have also declined over the last six years as a result of eligibility cuts made in FY2011
and FY2012 as well as an improving economy, creating a temporary program surplus.
“Nearly 8 million students are depending on Pell Grants to help them afford and com
plete college, now and in the coming years. We urge Congress not to undermine Pell
Grants by raiding the temporary Pell Grant surplus to fund other programs. Using Pell
Grant funds for any other purpose would jeopardize access to college when our nation
and economy need a more educated workforce.
“We should be doing more, not.less, to help students and families pay for and com
plete college without burdensome debt. Eighty four percent of Pell Grant recipients
have family incomes of $40,000 or less, and they are already more than twice as likely
as other students to borrow to pay for college. Nearly 9 out of 10 Pell Grant recipients
who graduate from a four-year college have student debt, and their average debt is
$4,750 more than higher income students.
“Past Pell Grant funding gaps have led to deep and harmful cuts for students. Assum
ing Congress maintains current funding levels, CBO now projects that Pell Grants will
not face a funding gap for nine years - until FY2025. However, spending Pell Grant
funds elsewhere now would make that gap occur much sooner. For example, diverting
$2 billion from Pell Grants in FY2017 could lead to a funding gap as soon as FY2021.
“Moreover, these funds are urgently needed to strengthen Pell Grants. The 2016-17
maximum Pell Grant will cover less than 30% of public four-year college costs, the
lowest share in more than 40 years. Under current law, the maximum Pell Grant will
stop adjusting for inflation after 2017-18, eroding the grant’s purchasing power even
more. In addition to increasing the maximum Pell Grant and continuing to adjust it for
inflation, other priorities identified and supported by a broad range of stakeholders for
strengthening Pell Grants include: restoring Pell eligibility for students whose federal
loans are discharged due to school closure or fraud; making grants available to students
year-round; and restoring eligibility for incarcerated individuals who will be returning
to the community.
“The Pell Grant program is the federal government’s most valuable and effective
investment in higher education. If we do not strengthen it, millions of students will be
