Coach K blasts Obama

“I know it’s upsetting to many of you when you hear ‘no boots on the ground,' " Krzyzewski said. "It upsets me too because that’s like saying I’m not going to play two of my best players. Because that’s what you are trained to do. And for decades and decades, the fact that we are a free country and we don’t play home games here is a result of having boots on the ground.


“It’s about letting your opponent know that we are going to use our best players. 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], like I’m not going to play Grant Hill, J.J. Redick, [Christian] Laettner. Like for the Olympics, 'Hey, Spain, I’m not going to start LeBron [James] and Kobe [Bryant] tonight.' I don't think you do that."

BTW, Coach K did serve and play for Bobby Knight at WEST POINT.
