Mike Krzyzewski has made headlines throughout the season largely for his farewell tour; however, not all of the conversations have been positive, such as the coaching situation mentioned in Ian O'Connor’s new book, “Coach K.”
Excerpts from the long-anticipated book caught the sports world by storm on the same day as Duke’s home game against Wake Forest. Included in these excerpts was a report regarding how Krzyzewski took over the search for his successor.
Duke president Vincent Price reportedly wanted to hire former Blue Devils guard and current Harvard coach Tommy Amaker, while Krzyzewski preferred the program's current associate head coach Jon Scheyer.
