Duke basketball legend Jay Williams has a message to his fellow Blue Devils -- DON'T FREAK OUT!!!
With Duke in its worst slump since 2007, we asked Jay if Coach K's involvement with Team USA is taking his focus away from college basketball.
Williams not only shot down that theory -- but says Team USA has made Coach K even MORE of a force ... because now he''s connected to guys like LeBron and Kobe and "that's what kids wanna see."
Bottom line -- "It's one down year ... have you heard about the class coming in next year?
