Stumble It!
Well, not only are recruiting events going on in Las Vegas this weekend, but Coach K and Assistant Johnny Dawkins are working with team USA. Oh, and people are gawking at Coach Collins Air Force shoes;)
"We don't look at Coach K as a college coach. We look at him as the coach of the USA team. We respect that and he respects us. My first impression is that he's a good guy. He cares about us." ... LeBron James
"Coach K is a motivator. He knows we got to just go out here, do what we gotta do and just stick to the point "... Phoenix Suns Marion
"
It's exciting for me to be reunited with Coach K, with whom I played for at Duke, because there are so many great memories over the past years – winning championships, basketball games, and just being around the man for four years. It's exciting to be around a guy who just gets it and it's a thrill for me to be able to play for him one last time for a couple of years."
Shane Battier, former Duke All American, POY
"
Today, we went to just one practice, which is a little bit of a reward and a precaution at the same time. Coach K has been doing this for a while. He doesn't want wear us out too much, but at the same time, he wants to reward us because we've been playing pretty hard the past two days. As long as we keep the practices intense and competitive, we can practice just once."
Chris Bosh, formerly of Georgia Tech
