Thanks to the savvy ways of managing director Jerry Colangelo, the cooperation of coach Mike Krzyzewski, and the coordination of public relations man Craig Miller, there is an openness to the media access that is mutually beneficial and an old-school feel to the environment that makes it easy to keep a pulse on the program’s affairs.
This was proven yet again at the team’s UNLV training camp Thursday, when Krzyzewski described in great detail how he sees the team’s big-man battle that will be so key as they near the eventual trimming of the roster from 20 players to 12 before the FIBA Basketball World Cup in Spain that begins Aug. 30.
