...national team, he's the CEO of a daunting turnaround project to restore America's basketball and sporting pride. And despite his outward cool, he was scared stiff when he signed on. "Because it's not Duke now, I'm saying, 'Will they actually listen?'" says Krzyzewski (pronounced Sha-shef-skee) in the nasal baritone of a high school chemistry teacher. It's a demeanor that deftly shades one of the fiercest competitors in sports. "If you don't have anxieties, you might as well drop in the old coffin...
Duke University coach Mike Krzyzewski (pronounced "Sha-shef-skee"), who over the last three decades has won a sick 78% of his games and three national championships, fancies himself a business guru.

The Duke fans--dubbed Cameron Crazies--are nothing more than deluded Satanists that religiously worship Krzyzewski...
University of North Carolina: UNC is the benevolent counterpart to "Shu-shef-skee" and his evil Dukies. Coached for years by Dean "The Dean" Smith, and now by the adequate Bill Guthridge, the Tar Heels have a special gambling place in my heart: every year I predict they'll make the Final Four, and every year they lose in the early rounds to the likes of Weber State. Who? Yeah, you don't know either. This year I corrected that and predicted they'd lose to a stronger Stanford in the second round. Instead, they appear to be on their...
