"Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski on Tuesday called on college basketball to consider whether it's best to continue playing during the COVID-19 pandemic. "I would just like for the safety, the mental and physical health of players and staff to assess where we're at," Krzyzewski said.

Krzyzewski's comments came after an 83-68 loss to Illinois.
Coach K questions continuing play in pandemic

Many players won't be able to go home and visit family for holidays, Krzyzewski said, arguing that this is a time when they should do that for their mental health. 'We're just plowing through this,' he said.

The sport is largely governed by an oversight committee. 'Anything that's led by committee is not agile,' Krzyzewski said, adding that he's 'not sure who leads college basketball'. Krzyzewski cited the rise in COVID-19 cases as the basis of his argument."

That's a lot of whining.

He's rich AF. If you want a year off or retire then do it coach. Nobody is being forced to play or coach. The vast majority of these players want to play.

Getting exercise, playing the game they love, and socializing with their friends at practice is honestly probably better for a 20 year old's mental health than spending time with their family anyway. If he had a stacked team this year you know that we wouldn't hear a peep from him.

I like Coach K., so I'll give him a bye on this issue.

We're in an era where the Commie Cold can be used as an excuse for ANYTHING, for getting out of ANYTHING, and for not living up to your responsibilities on ANYTHING.

Suck it up and STFU, Mike.

If you've ever listened to his show on Sirius Channel 84, it's like that skit from Saturday Night Live with the two dull female radio hosts, but worse. I've walked into it a few times, and it's by far the most awful thing I've ever heard and I'd challenge anyone to make it more than 2 minutes with this guy.

But this takes the cake. I always felt like he was a tuck-and-tape guy, but now I think it's clear that he had the surgery.

It's the "on-court" struggles that caused this idea. K can see that he has a team he can't get Duke-success out of.
He would have declared a real concern before the season started, in the proper order.

Mike Krzyzewski stated "I would just like for the safety, the mental and physical health of players and staff to assess where we're at,"

A student journalist honor society member present at the press conference commented "Excuse me coach, at Duke we do not end our sentences with a preposition."

To which Krzyzewski replied "Thank you for the correction. I should have said I would just like for the safety, the mental and physical health of players and staff to assess where we're at you little $hit" "Is that better?"

Absolutely perfectly stated.

I respect what Coach K has accomplished. I've never liked him. Not even a little. His face - he just looks like a human rat.

Centrist? armadillo
Nothing in the middle of the road but crushed armadillo shells and dead skunks.

Why did the armadillo cross the road? ... to show his buddies he had the guts.

My alma mater doesn't get to play Duke now, we had to reschedule once from our program having issues. It sucks.

Finally got to play our first game tonight, went over to WKU and missed a shot at the buzzer to win, lost 86-84.

I respect K, always have, but he's like Roy and Boehiem, hanging on too long. Go ahead and retire and enjoy life.
