Inside Stuff
Suddenly he’s a great coach
ByDICKDEVENZiO
Syndicated Columnist
Two years ago, supposedly ex
pert basketball commentators
were criticizing Duke Coach
Mike Krzyzewski for playing
man-to-man defense all the time.
As"though they had never heard
of Bobby Knight, they said
Coach Krzyzewski was inflexible,
and they questioned his ability to
coach,
It became the “in comment”
to talk about Duke not using
zones, about Coach K not
understanding how to use his per
sonnel.
Of course, Mike Krzyzewski
played and coached under Bobby
Knight, and the basketball world
has seen recent, vivid examples --
against North Carolina* in the
NCAA playoffs, and in the
Ol|mpic games - of what the
Knight philosophy can do on a
court. The hallmark of
it is rigid, inflexible, man-lo-man
defense. Coach K has used it at
Duke for the past two years, and
he is planning to use it again --
with basically the same players he
had two years ago.
It tells you simply that critics
should think twice before throw
ing in their meager two cents.
This year, Duke’s front line -
Alarie, Bilas and Meagher --
should still be too small and too
slow to be able to play man-to-
man. Coach K should know bet
ter. None of them has grown.
Yet, last year they beat Perkins
and Jordan with that man-to-
man in the ACC Tournament,
they went 7-7 in the conference,
beat almost everyone else, and
now the critics are rushing into
the fold, almost unanimously .in
stalling Duke as a Top lO pick in '
the nation {The Sporting News
has Duke No. 4) and the number
one team in the ACC.
I don’t think Duke ought to be
rated so highly, but I like Coach
K’s attitude about it, and the at
titude he projects in Duke’s prac
tice sessions. He is low-key,
seldom raising his voice, and he is
a teacher, patiently gong over
each important point.
He has avoided the typical
coach’s denial of interest in
ratings. He says that he and his
players are proud of their high
preseason ratings, and they see
this as recognition for their ac
complishments last year.
As Assistant Coach Bob
Bender, a star on Duke’s Final
Four team several years ago,
said, “The high ratings may not
be realistic, but they help our
recruiting.” y
Danny Ferry, the*%biper^tar
center from D.C., visited Duke
Oct. 21, and Jeff Lebo, the
superstar guard from Penn
sylvania, was also recently in
Durham.

“We knew that we had to hit
the short passes,” said Pearson.
Every time we got in a situation
where we needed a first down, we
went to them.”
While East didn’t score any
SKond-half points, Pearson said
his team continued to play well.
“Reynolds did a little better at

I Pearson said. “They had a lot of
fight in them, but our bunch
showed a lot of character, too.”
The Eagles finished the season
with a 7-3 record. Pearson said
his team performed well in ’84,
all things considered.

line, Barber found Keaton behind
the Reynolds defense on a play-
action pass. Keith Shaeffer’s
PAT made the score 7-0.
The Eagles put together
another drive, this time going 79
yards in 13 plays after stopping
Reynolds on the ensuing posses
sion.
Running backs Mullins and
Maurice Robinson did most of
the work, Robinson bursting 16
yards off-tackle and lumbering
23 yards with a short pass to keep
the drive going.
However, Reynolds’ defense
stiffened once the Eagles moved
inside the Demon 10-yard line.
Pearson opted to go for the
touchdown instead of a short
field goal on fourth and goal
from the Demons’ one and
Barber sneaked in for the Eagles’
second touchdown.
Reynolds made gallant at
tempts at closing the gap in the
first half, but each time the Eagle
defense rose to the occasion.
“It was our last game and we
really wanted to go out with a
win,” said Geno Segers, who
tallied three quarterback sacks
for East. “The whole defense
played intense football. Our
defense was the key to winning
the game. I thought we played
well.”
The Demons did, however,
have a chance for a big break late
in the second quarter. East
returner Chris Christmas was
backed to his one and tried to
field a booming 52-yard punt by
the Demons’ Scott Faircloth.
Christmas fumbled the catch but
beat several Demon defenders to
the ball to prevent a scoring
threat by Reynolds.
Following the half, neither
team could get its offense going.
The Demons took to the air in
hopes of mounting a comeback
bid, but the East defense sacked
quarterback Troy Gurkin
repeatedly.
The only points of the second
half were scored when a snap
from center sailed over the head
of Shaeffer for a Reynolds safe
ty.
