Send to Kindle Credit: Duke Photography
Duke’s legendary Mike Krzyzewski picked up win number 999 Monday night, a 79-65 survival against a tough Pittsburgh squad. Once again, the bulk of Duke’s defensive game was a 2-3 zone defense. The 67-yard-old coach is diverse and eclectic, but the shift to predominantly a 2-3 zone over the last two games from a guru known for his...

Coach K’s letter to Michael Jordan when MJ says he isn’t coming to Duke
wralsportsfan.com
Newsflash: Michael Jordan didn’t go to Duke. He considered Duke, but he went to North Carolina. On October 29, 1980, Mike Krzyzewski wrote “Mike” Jordan a letter about Jordan’s decision to eliminate Duke as an option.
It’s fairly interesting, especially when you read it in Coach K’s voice.

Coach K’s Tactful Letter to Michael Jordan After He Turned Down Duke
Maybe Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski had a crystal ball in October of 1980 realizing that he wouldn’t have a chance at coaching the future Dream Team if he didn’t keep his tact with the best player in the country.

Duke in the Zone, Takes Down Louisville 63-52
Not sure any team needed a win like this Duke team did and thank goodness they got it in a 63-52 win over Louisville. Duke got this win in a very non-Duke fashion, using a zone…yup, the 2-3 zone was utilized against a poor shooting Louisville team and minus some poor play in the waning moments of the game Duke played pretty well defensively.
