One of the major themes of the early part of the season, and probably the whole season really, is going to be the transition at Duke between Mike Krzyzewski, now retired, and John Scheyer.
Whether it’s intentional or not, one of the emerging traits in Scheyer’s program is that, well, it’s not Krzyzewski’s.
By that we mean the tenor of the program has changed, or appears to have anyway.
No one doubts Krzyzewski’s brilliance or, for that matter, his care and compassion for his players. But we keep hearing different language drifting up. Words like relaxed.
