WASHINGTON (Reuters) - After President Barack Obama offered kind words to Duke University's championship basketball team at the White House on Tuesday, Blue Devils Coach Mike Krzyzewski offered the president an invitation to Duke's "fantasy camp" for "guys 35 and older."

"I'll dominate," the 54-year-old president, an avid basketball player, joked to laughter and applause during the ceremony in the White House East Room.

Obama lauded Duke's players for their success on the court and their commitment to charity off of it, honoring them for winning the NCAA tournament title in April for the school's fifth national championship.
