Atlanta’s 790 the Zone interview
Krzyzewski discusses coaching the 2008 U.S. Basketball team to a gold medal:
I don’t think you can coach them and be their coach and be star struck. I love these guys. What I found myself at different times is saying wow, here I am coaching and I’d like to do this at the highest level and guess what, we are.…I can remember Chris Bosh stepping out on a ball screen and I watched it on tape and I said, I’ve never seen a guy get that wide when stepping in. It was like a discovery. I don’t want to equate it to medicine but it was like, I’ve never seen that.

Kryzyzewski comments on an upcoming game against Villanova:
They’re playing their best basketball of the season. We’re actually pretty similar. We’re perimeter oriented, both of our teams. Neither team has a real strong low post presence, although (Dante) Cunningham. Their perimeter is outstanding, (Scottie) Reynolds being the key guy. He can put up 30 points on you.
ESPN Radio interview
Kryzyzewski talks about coaching adjustments he has made during the season:
We needed to make a change a few weeks ago because we just could not defend the point (guard) of another team well. We were turning the ball over a little too much and not getting into our offense. Moving (Jon) Scheyer to the being the ball handler and Elliot Williams as the guy pressuring the ball, its like a double change to really alleviate a problem at the point of our attack.
