In the podcast we linked to the other day where Jason Williams interviewed his Duke coach, Mike Krzyzewski, Williams got emotional and talked about how Coach K was still coaching him, whether he knew it or not.
He’s been an immense presence in many people’s lives, and certainly that goes for his former players, not all of whom have had easy paths.
Williams had a terrible, career-ending injury as did Bobby Hurley. Marty Clark has had mental health and alcohol issues.
Jeff Capel had a tough time at Duke his senior year, which was the year Coach K had to take a leave of absence.
