LISTEN: Francesa Blasts USA Today Lip-Reading Analysis Of Coach K Comments

NEW YORK (WFAN) -- There have been conflicting accounts of what Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said to Oregon's Dillon Brooks after Thursday night's Sweet 16 game.

Following Brooks' 3-pointer in the final seconds after the Blue Devils had seemingly conceded the game, Krzyzewski and Brooks had a quick exchange on the court.

Brooks claims Coach K told him that he's "too good of a player to be showing off at the end." Krzyzewski denied that, saying: "I just congratulated him. He's a terrific player."

In an effort to determine what was really said, USA Today asked a lip-reading expert -- a fact that was brought to Mike Francesa's attention by a caller during his WFAN show Friday.

"Now we're using lip readers," Francesa said. "That's what this has come to. You're telling me we're using lip readers now."

Francesa then tracked down the article, in which David Driscoll of Silent Eye Lip Reading Translator said Krzyzewski told Brooks: "Shooting for points and glory — that was a beautiful play." The article suggested Driscoll's video analysis supported Brooks' account of the conversation.

"What does that mean? 'Shooting for points and glory -- that was a beautiful play'?" Francesa asked. "That's not what (Brooks) said (Krzyzewski) said. ... That is what the lip reader came away with?

"How is that that you're showing off at the end of the game? Where are we now, on Mars?"

If anything, the lip reader's interpretation seemed to back up Krzyzewski's side of the story, Francesa said.

"The headline -- 'Lip reader agrees with Oregon player's account' -- no, it doesn't!" Francesa said. "Did you read your own story?"
