'Exhausted' Capel takes place among new ACC peers to conclude a very long year | News & Observer

Jeff Capel has been a head coach in a power conference before, so there's nothing new about taking his place at a table of elite peers, but given where he grew up and where he went to school and where he most recently worked, it's unavoidably different for him when it's the ACC.

The new Pittsburgh coach took his place next to his coach and mentor Mike Krzyzewski on Tuesday, which was an odd sensation for several reasons, not the least of which was he spent seven years sitting on the other side of Krzyzewski on the Duke bench.
