Duke basketball: Five reasons Coach K needs to lighten up
One loss answered what's been bugging Duke basketball.
Remember, we're talking about college kids. We're talking about them dribbling, passing, and shooting a bouncy ball. We're talking about a game, a sport. And sports are fun. At least, they'd better be; otherwise, one ends up looking like Duke basketball chief Mike Krzyzewski from Tuesday night.
Too stiff. Too serious. Too safe. Too self-conscious. Too sedentary. Too gloomy. Stick in the mud. He's not the same Coach K who won five national championships. No, he's older -- now 72 -- but with potential to be even better than ever and snip some more April nets before calling it quits.
