Coach K and Duke team are ready for China tour
SHANGHAI - Mike Krzyzewski, Duke University's legendary head basketball coach, is "thrilled" to have the chance to revisit China, where he led Team USA to gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
"It was a magnificent experience for me to coach the US team at the Beijing Olympics. The Chinese showed a great welcome to the whole world. I am keen to go back there," Krzyzewski said in a video during a press conference last week to launch his Duke team's eight-day China tour from Aug 15-22.
"From my experience in 2008, I know this is a nation that absolutely loves basketball. I am thrilled that our players will have the chance to feel a country so rich in tradition.
