Pesquera was upset Brown called a timeout with 23 seconds left and the Americans leading by 11 points. He let the U.S. coach know it as they left the court.

"I had -- and I stress the word 'had' -- a lot of respect for Larry Brown,'' said Pesquera, who smirked and shook his head when he heard Brown explain that he tried to rescind the timeout. "Dean Smith would have never done anything like that.''

From CBC:

Brown, who coaches the Detroit Pistons in the NBA, said confusion about the time left in the game led to the timeout.

"I didn't want it but the officials gave it to me anyway," he said. "I tried to apologize and explain to the Spanish coach, but he didn't want to listen. He kept saying something about the NBA to me. All I can do is apologize and move on."
