Something that I always think has helped Coach K is that Duke has such strict academic standards. He may not get a starting 5 full of first rounders - but he has kids that follow directions, won't make the mental mistakes and will most likely stay to get their degree.

K's a heck of a coach. One of the very best. And Duke is a rigorous
academic school. But that rigor can be bent all out of shape for
its basketball team. Specially designed, personal bunny majors
for one thing. Duke's academic rep for much of it's basketball
team is more Rep than reality. A leftover from an earlier day.
