WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Virginia Tech athletic director Whit Babcock has confirmed that a former assistant coach-turned-broadcaster at Wake Forest provided a former Hokies assistant with some game plan information in 2014.Babcock said in a statement Thursday that he has no indication that the information was shared with staff members or used during the game. Retired coach Frank Beamer also said he had no knowledge of what is being alleged.Babcock did not identify the assistant coach. Wake Forest won that game 6-3 in double overtime and finished the season 3-9.Virginia Tech joins Louisville and Army in acknowledging their involvement in the scandal in which former Wake Forest assistant Tommy Elrod was fired as the analyst on Demon Deacons radio game broadcasts after the school determined he leaked or attempted to leak game plans.We are disappointed and embarrassed that this type of information was distributed to, and apparently received by one of our former assistant coaches, Babcock said.The unidentified assistant did not remain on the staff when Beamer retired and was replaced by Justin Fuente, Babcock said.Earlier Thursday, Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson said he feels betrayed and that his players were cheated by a former assistant coach-turned-broadcaster who peddled Demon Deacons plays to opponents.Ive never experienced this level of betrayal in coaching, coach Dave Clawson said after his teams first practice since the school made public the results of a nearly monthlong internal investigation into potential leaks of game plans.The scandal has garnered national headlines, completely overshadowing Wake Forests upcoming Military Bowl matchup with Temple.The big thing is that (the players) were cheated -- they were not given a fair chance to compete on multiple occasions, but theres nothing we can do about it, Clawson said. We found out what happened, we found out who did it, theyre no longer part of our program and now we need to move forward and try to win a bowl game.The schools review, which began after documents related to the teams game plan for the Nov. 12 game at Louisville were found at the Cardinals stadium, placed the blame on Tommy Elrod. He is a former player and assistant under the previous staff who moved into the broadcast booth during a coaching change after the 2013 season.Elrod was fired as an analyst on the Demon Deacons IMG College radio broadcasts and was banned from the schools athletic facilities. His attorney, former Wake Forest player James Quander, declined comment Thursday, and Elrod has not returned phone calls and text messages.Yeah, Id say Im mad -- thats fair, quarterback John Wolford said. Youre expected to play a fair game and when you dont get that opportunity, a lot of times, that negatively impacts you. Maybe the impact was nothing, maybe it was nil, maybe tiny, so I dont want to overemphasize that, but the fact that it was attempted to happen and maybe did happen. It does anger me.Citing advice from the schools lawyers, Clawson declined to offer any additional specifics on how many games may have been affected, or exactly how the plays were obtained and transmitted.The Associated Press has requested comment from every Bowl Subdivision team the Demon Deacons have played since 2014.Wake Forest officials say theyve contacted other schools that were involved, leaving it up to them to come forward. The Atlantic Coast Conference has said it will do its due diligence when it reviews the schools findings.With Wake Forest saying it knows who took the plays, the focus shifts to the schools that may have received them.Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich previously said Elrod shared a few plays with offensive coordinator Lonnie Galloway, who passed them along to defensive staff members. Elrod and Galloway were assistants at Wake Forest from 2011-12.Members of Wake Forests travel party found the documents at the stadium before the game, which the Cardinals won 44-12 after Wake Forest took a 12-0 lead. The school began its investigation days later.That next month of not knowing how it happened was miserable, Clawson said. Just in your own office, youre wondering who did this. It was not a great working environment because nobody trusts anybody.Going forward, security is certainly going to be tightened at Wake Forest, long been one of the most open programs in the ACC, a reputation that dates back to Jim Grobes practices routinely being open to the general public. Things havent been quite that unrestrained under Clawsons leadership, though his weekly news conferences during game weeks are generally followed by informal, off-the-record conversations with media members.One of the regulars in that crowd was Elrod.Weve always tried to be media-friendly. Weve always given more access to media probably than any program in the ACC, and that will have to change, Clawson said. Its not fair to our players. ... You cant compromise your program and your staff and your fan base.---Follow Joedy McCreary on Twitter at http://twitter.com/joedyap---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org Renell Wren Jersey .

In the posting, he said he wondered about the message she would take from the election.Elsewhere in the NBA, players and coaches also shared their opinions on Tuesdays presidential election.Detroit Pistons?coach Stan Van Gundy, noticing that his players were uncharacteristically quiet because they were thinking about the election, told the Detroit Free Press that Trump was openly and brazenly racist and misogynistic.I have problems with thinking that this is where we are as a country. Its tough on [the team], he said.Van Gundy went on to say, What we have done to minorities ... in this election is despicable. Im having a hard time dealing with it.?He later added: I dont know how you go about it, if youre a person of color today or a Latino. Because white society just said to you, again -- not like we havent forever -- but again, and emphatically, that I dont think you deserve equality. We dont think you deserve respect. And the same with women. Thats what we say today, as a country.?Van Gundy, however, said, We all have to find our way to move forward.Golden State Warriors forward David West, who called Trumps election as the 45th president of the United States disappointing, said a sports franchise would never hire someone with no experience to lead its team.Think about the way that NBA franchises protect themselves and NFL franchises protect themselves -- they would never hire a coach that has never been in the arena of that particular sport. And were talking sports, were talking about athletics.Even in high school, in college, an athletic director would never hire a coach to lead a football team thats never had any experience in football whatsoever, and we just put a person in the presidency who has no political experience.dddddddddddd Its crazy. Its really crazy. But like I said, he spoke the mind of the people, and you got to respect that, at the very least.Warriors coach Steve Kerr compared Trump to The Jerry Springer Show.?I thought we were better than this, Kerr said. I thought The Jerry Springer Show was The Jerry Springer Show. Watching the last debate, Trump would make a crack at [Hillary] Clinton, and you could hear the fans in the stands [makes Ohhhhh noise]. No he didnt. Yeah he did. This is a presidential election. Its not The Jerry Springer Show.While Kerr said he hopes Trump is a good president, he added, I have no idea what kind of president hell be, because he hasnt said anything about what hes going to do. We dont know. But its tough when you want there to be some respect and dignity and there hasnt been any.And then you walk into a room with your daughter and your wife -- who have basically been insulted by his comments -- and theyre distraught. And you walk in and you see the faces of your players, and most of them who have been insulted directly, as minorities. Its sure shocking. It really is.Kerr said the Warriors talked about the election outcome as a team on Wednesday morning.Asked if he was surprised by Trumps win, New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony replied, I wasnt surprised, to be honest with you.?The way things are going now in this country -- the educated, the uneducated, the people that were out there voting -- I wasnt surprised at that.Anthony said he talked to kids, including his own family, on Wednesday morning: You can just hear the nervousness. They are afraid and dont know what to think and people dont know what to do at this point. I think it is up to us as individuals to kind of take on that responsibility and everybody has to lead in their own way. We cant rely on a system or one person, and we got to move on from that.Watching his son fall asleep on Tuesday night, Anthony said he thought about the conversation ahead.What is that conversation? he asked out loud. That is the scary part for me, what is that conversation?LA Clippers?point guard Chris Paul?echoed Anthonys sentiment.?Being a father and parent, its tough, said Paul. You know, thing is [my son] comes home from school, the questions he asks -- we sat and we watched everything yesterday. It definitely makes you question things, evaluate different things.After his?Chicago Bulls lost to the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night, Dwyane Wade?was asked how he was able to block everything out heading into the game.?This is my job, he said. As a professional, I had to come in and do my job. The election happened. You cant change that. Were all professionals in here.We know what we got to do and thats what were going to continue to do -- is focus on what we can control, and thats the only thing that matters.ESPNs Chris Haynes, Ethan Sherwood Strauss, Ian Begley and Nick Friedell contributed to this report.
