...After all, he was supposed to be Team USA's savior, plucked from his perch atop Duke University to salvage America's international basketball pride following a sixth-place finish at the 2002 Worlds and bronze at the Athens Olympics. Hailed as the perfect blend of disciplinarian (he attended West Point), patriot and motivator, Coach K was the man for the job of assuaging millionaire egos and returning basketball gold to its rightful home, the inner-city blacktops and sweaty YMCA gyms in which the sport was reared...
