In a press conference, Tennessee coach Rick Barnes joked, “sometimes I wonder if my guys are betting on games” before quickly saying “erase that.”

The 71-year-old began laughing shortly after making the comment, along with members of the press who can be heard in the background. Immediately after, he said: “I shouldn’t say that, but you know…erase that…” before putting his head in his hands.

“I’m just wondering what’s happening. I mean, cos I know we’re too good of players to do that…” He then apologized and said “I shouldn’t have said that…” The joke came as the coach was talking about some bad passes that had taken place
