Utah's Rodney Hood was selected from Duke with the 23rd pick in the 1st round of the 2014 NBA Draft.

Hood, who transferred to Duke for his sophomore season, declared for the NBA Draft after one year with Coach K -- foregoing his final two years of eligibility. He played 21.3 minutes per game during his first season in the NBA, averaging 8.7 points and 2.3 rebounds.

As the only player on the Jazz who went to Duke, however, tensions were high when the hometown Utah Utes defeated his alma mater in college basketball on Saturday.

Assistant coach Johnnie Bryant shared a photo of Hood -- who obviously lost a bet -- honoring his word and rocking a Utah college basketball uniform. Bryant and assistant Alex Jensen went to Utah. So, too, did conditioning coach Isaiah Wright and assistant trainer Nick Asay.

Jazz head coach Quin Snyder and assisstant Antonio Lang both went to Duke.
