Jay Wright’s Retirement Underscores Just How Well Mike Krzyzewski Handled His
LAS VEGAS, NV - JULY 26: Jim Boeheim, Jay Wright and Mike Krzyzewski talk during USAB Minicamp Practice at Mendenhall Center on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus on July 26, 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada.You may have noticed a lot of criticism of Mike Krzyzewski over the past season over his so-called Farewell Tour (CBS’s Matt Norlander mocked this on a regular basis, lending support to our contention that he really, really doesn’t care for Duke).
But he wasn’t the only one.
A lot of people thought it was an ego trip, a way of forcing people to acknowledge his brilliant career and so on and so forth.
What a bunch of hooey.
It was never about that.
