Mike Krzyzewski responds to Yahoo article; “utterly ridiculous”

Duke head coach and Team USA head coach Mike Krzyzewski offered up his response to Adrian Wojnarowski’s article about Team USA earlier this week. In his first press conference since the piece published, Coach K spoke strongly of the allegations levied against him.

"Krzyzewski pointed out the participation of Florida’s Billy Donovan and Virginia’s Tony Bennett in coaching the under-19 team this year.“No one is saying about him [Donovan] that he has an advantage and he’s with those kids for 3½ weeks each summer,” Krzyzewski said.…“That that [access] gives you an advantage — it’s utterly ridiculous — and anyone who comments on it without doing the research is really wanting to take that point of view,” Krzyzewski said. “I don’t get it. I don’t get it. We’ve won four national championships.”"

This comes on the heels of Team USA assistant coach and Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim refuting the claims himself earlier in the week.

Both men shared similar thoughts, namely that Wojnarowski failed to accuse Billy Donovan or Tony Bennett of having the same recruiting advantage, especially considering they’re coaching the younger players.

Hopefully, this means the end of the whole saga. From the get-go, it was a seemingly baseless accusation made on the stance of bias.

Considering the professional manner in which all these men typically conduct business, this is likely the last we’ll hear of it.

Let us know what you think of the whole saga. Was Wojnarowski right? Do Boeheim and Krzyzewski have points? Let us know down below!
