Coach K continued
Chuck of the Bonnie Bernstein Yahoo Group wrote me last night about my Coach K item. He pointed out that the previous Duke tournament games were similar: "Whenever they interviewed a Duke coach at halftime, it was usually an assistant, not Coach K, who they did interview in feature pieces."
A quick Googling confirmed this tradition. I couldn't find anything directly from the coach about why he does this, but various news articles and discussion posts (with varying degrees of support) showed the assistant interviews go back at least as far as 2001. Thanks to Chuck for e-mailing.
