Krzyzewski to the Lakers?
Reports of Mike Krzyzewski talking with the Lakers about their vacant coaching position leaves me in a quandary. Alas, I love Duke and Krzyzewski, and I hate the Lakers.
If Krzyzewski left, where would that leave Duke? And would I find myself routing for the Lakers? That would be awful. Who would replace the legendary coach? Clearly it would have to be assistant coach Steve Wojciechowski, the only name that could rival the outgoing Krzyzewski.

Yo Jarv, congrats on the launch of your site!
It seems corny that K would consider leaving Duke for the Lakers, but it makes sense from his point of view. He's been at Duke forever and could try his hand at something new. If he does well at the NBA level it would enhance his legacy even more. If not, he hasn't lost any stature at Duke and on the NCAA level. A win-win for him.
If he goes to L.A. and things didn't work out with the Lakers after a year, would Duke take him back?
