Williamson, Coach K downplay NCAA concerns

DURHAM, N.C. -- Heralded freshman Zion Williamson made his Duke debut at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Friday night, putting on a show for fans at the team's annual "Countdown to Craziness" event. But afterward, coach Mike Krzyzewski downplayed concerns about potential NCAA issues that could keep his star off the court later this season.

Williamson's recruitment became fodder in the college basketball corruption trial this week when FBI tapes indicated his stepfather had asked for money and a job from Kansas. A transcript of the calls was read to the courtroom during the trial Tuesday, but the tapes were not admitted as evidence.
