Duke basketball Coach Mike Krzyzewski has had quite the month of April. In the last two weeks, he has won the NCAA men’s basketball championship (for the fifth time) and received an award at an Army awards conference. To put the icing on the cake, he also slammed President Obama’s foreign policy – comparing it to him not playing two of his best players.

“I know it’s upsetting to many of you when you hear ‘no boots on the ground,’” Coach K said. “It upsets me too because that’s like saying, ‘I’m not going to play two of my best players.”
He explained the strategy behind not revealing your plans to your enemies. He joked that for coaching the U.S. olympic team, he wouldn’t say to his opponent, “I’m not going to start LeBron [James] and Kobe [Bryant].”

“It’s about letting your opponent know that we are going to use our best players,” he added. “Now whether you use them or not, that’s up to the coach. You never tell an opponent you are not going to use them.”

Coach K, a veteran from the Vietnam War, showed immense gratitude for our armed services, thanking them for providing him the freedoms to do as he chooses.

“So on behalf of the ordinary guys, the ordinary people, we love you and thank you for doing that,” Krzyzewski said.
