Mike Krzyzewski was young, unproven, inexperienced and terrified when his boss summoned him early one morning in January 1984. He thought he was getting fired.
Duke athletic director Tom Butters was feeling pressure from alumni, fans and donors to do something about this coach with a funny last name who was underperforming three years after Butters took a risk on him. If he were coaching today, Krzyzewski probably would have been canned. Even then, it was the safe decision, and it would have been the popular one.
Oh no, they got jealous! Lol
Lmao at this coming out now.
