The Duke Blue Devils went from Sweet, to Elite and now to a 13th appearance in a Final Four for Coach Mike Krzyzewski. Coach K will be the first person to tell you that this isn’t his bus, it’s the kids that are driving and he is simply along for their ride. Don’t let that sentiment fool you though, K has done some of his most masterful coaching jobs of the season in the last 2 games and each move has paid dividends. Whether it be switching from the vaunted Duke man-to-man defense to zone to slow down the the Red Raiders and then the Razorbacks, or urging his team in timeouts to “wake-up”, not letting them slip into complacency, calling specific offensive sets to quell the Arkansas momentum or simply listening to his team when they decided they wanted to switch back to man-to-man against Texas Tech in their Sweet 16 matchup.
