A Virginia Tech victory over seventh-ranked Duke was only the beginning of an unpleasant experience Thursday for the family of Blue Devils' star J.J. Redick from Roanoke.
Redick's father, Ken, said he was among a group of Duke fans who were harassed after the game and that he was not satisfied with the reaction when he raised the issue with Tech athletic director Jim Weaver.
"I stopped him and said, 'There's no security behind the bench,'" Ken Redick said, "and he said, 'just like you provided coach [Seth Greenberg] at Duke.' I thought it was a telling statement. It was like, 'To heck with you guys.'"
The reference was to a Jan. 30 game in Durham, N.C., where the Hokies' coach, Greenberg, was ejected with 4:39 remaining in a game the Hokies would lose 100-65. Greenberg said he was nearly poked in the eye by students waving their hands at him.
