Mike Krzyzewski left no doubt Tuesday that he plans to spend the rest of his coaching career at Duke.
During the opening remarks of his annual summer news conference, Krzyzewski put to rest rumors that he would be replacing Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson.
?I'm not leaving Duke,? Krzyzewski said. ?Whatever you hear about anything like that, I would never leave Duke until I leave coaching. Anything else that's being said would be just somebody saying stuff.?
Before squashing that rumor, Krzyzewski said an announcement on who will coach the U.S. Olympic team in 2012 will be made July 21 in Las Vegas. He spoke glowingly of his experience over the past three years coaching the Olympic team and repeated his previous stance that he will remain involved with the team in some capacity.
