Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski had just finished up an interview with CBS. His eyes were a little red, as if he had just been crying. But he had a smile on his face.
Up next was his interview with me. He was sitting at a table in Cameron Indoor Stadium, the home of his famous basketball program. Behind him, a whiteboard hung on the wall, and on it in marker was a drawn out basketball play.
Krzyzewski, in his 38th season at Duke, is the all-time leader in head coaching wins (1,091) in Division I basketball. The Hall of Fame coach, who turned 71 on Tuesday, has had his share of setbacks recently, mostly due to his health.
