That did not sit well with Jenkins, who got up and started yelling back at the coach.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;After the game, both parties said it was nothing to worry about, just something that happens in the heat of the moment.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;”He comes at you. He wants to get the best out of you,” Jenkins said to the Associated Press. “Obviously, that’s not the way I should have handled it, but you just get emotional.”&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;“It’s an emotional game. He was fired up. I was fired up.
