US men's basketball: Gregg Popovich gets confrontational with reporter after shock Australia loss

USA Olympic Men's Basketball head coach Gregg Popovich gets into testy exchange with reporter after the Americans lost to Australia on Monday for their second game defeat. Facing the prospect of national embarrassment at the upcoming Tokyo Olympics, the US men's basketball team was booed off the court in Las Vegas on Monday night following a second straight exhibition defeat. The tension boiled over at the end of Team USA's 91-83 loss to Australia on Monday after the 15-time Olympic gold medal winners fell 90-87 to upstart Nigeria on Saturday. Prior to this summer, the US men's team had lost only twice in 56 exhibitions since 1992, when NBA players were first permitted to play in the Olympics. The frustration was palpable at Team USA's post-game press conference, where head coach Gregg Popovich became confrontational with one reporter.
