Wendell Carter Jr.’s mother has wasted little time before going after Coach K.

Kylia Carter said her son took a backseat in famed Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski’s eyes after Coach K recruited Marvin Bagley III to Durham, in an interview with NBC Sports.

Bagley originally had been a year behind Carter, but reclassified and signed with Duke. Bagley was drafted second by the Kings, while Carter went seventh to the Bulls.

“My initial reaction, I was pissed,” she told NBC Sports. “And it wasn’t pissed because Marvin was coming. To be honest, I felt like that was information that was kept from us. It felt [shady], it felt like my baby was gonna get kicked to the curb. I felt like all of that.”

It wasn’t the first time Kylia, who played basketball at Ole Miss, has been outspoken about the NCAA. She compared the college basketball system to slavery and prison while speaking at the Knight Commission on College Athletics.

“The problem that I see is not with the student-athlete, it’s not with the coaches and the institutions of higher learning, but it’s with a system, like the only system I have ever seen where the laborers are the only people that are not being compensated for the work that they do, while those in charge receive mighty compensation,” she told the commission. “The only two systems where I’ve known that to be in place is slavery and the prison system, and now I see the NCAA as overseers of a system that is identical to that.”

Carter Jr. was named in a series of federal documents that tied some of college basketball’s stars to violations of NCAA’s amateur regulations, Yahoo reported in February.

Kylia has at times heaped praise on Duke, telling the Knight Commission that it was “a wonderful experience and everything that he needed it to be.”

Her tone seems to have changed.

“We have not had our conversation but we will,” she told NBC Sports about Krzyzewski. “We almost went there with him when we did our exit interview. But he’ll come around to a Bulls game and I’ll get the chance.”
