Countdown to Craziness, Duke’s relatively buttoned down public debut, is Friday evening at 7:00. Programs naturally reflect their coaches and if you’ve followed Duke at all over the years, you know Mike Krzyzewski, while a witty man and good company, would much rather focus on making his team better.
These sorts of events have become de rigueur in college basketball though and Coach K is nothing if not pragmatic. The man adjusts better than anyone in the game.
Plus it’s now a valuable recruiting occasion. You see only the positives on these events and the fans celebrate you.
