"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.
