After Team USA’s win over Lithuania in the 2014 FIBA World Cup, coach Mike Krzyzewski broke up a scuffle between the two teams.
We still aren’t positive as to why the fight broke out but it could have branched from earlier in the first half when Demarcus Cousins almost punched Lithuania’s Jonas Valanciunas after taking an elbow to the throat.
The fight was unexpected and Coach K definitely had a sense of urgency in protecting his players.
