By Duke Of Hoops – With a program that has as much sustained success as Duke, it almost seems as if all Coach K has to do is recruit good players, put them out on the floor and get out of their way. The players on the floor make things look so easy at times, that it’s hard to remember that they’re sometimes just teenagers and are adjusting not only to the demands of high level basketball, but also to college life in general.
