Coach K On Possible Threats To The Game

We rarely disagree with Mike Krzyzewski and we don't totally here but we do have one point to make that we think is critical.

On Tuesday, at the ACC media event for basketball, Coach K said that he could foresee the G-League challenging college basketball in a few years.

Well yes and no.

First, we’re not sure the NBA wants to. Currently they have a free farm system. Obviously the G-League is a different level but still, you can’t get teachers there as good as Mark Few or Rick Byrd. Not happening.

And second, well, they are clearly farm teams and not bound to their cities and fans the way that a university is.
