Mike Krzyzewski has a full-time job. And then some. He’s generously compensated. And then some.
He keeps busy. Very busy. He is essential to his teams’ success and feels responsible for keeping Duke’s men basketball on the right track, as he has for going on a half-century.
But he’ll be 75 in February. And he’s come to appreciate he’s neither “superman”, as one doctor characterized his view of his own physical vulnerability in 1995, or indispensible.
As he showed when his Blue Devils traveled on Jan. 12 to Winston-Salem and handled an estimable Wake Forest squad without him.
