Coach K has questions about NCAA oversight of college basketball

Mike Krzyzewski is leaving college basketball in the next few days, but Duke’s Hall of Fame coach has plenty of opinions about where the sport — the industry that’s been his life’s work — is heading.

For the second day in a row, Krzyzewski used his Final Four news conference to discuss the NCAA’s changing landscape and its leadership structure.

“I think we’re all frustrated,” Krzyzewski said, one day ahead of Duke’s Final Four showdown with rival North Carolina.

Frequently over the past few years, including the 10 months since he announced he would retire, the 75-year-old Krzyzewski has criticized a lack of leadership as the NCAA goes through what can only be described as a constitutional crisis.

State legislatures around the country passed laws allowing college athletes to profit off their name, image and likeness, which previously violated NCAA amateurism rules. In response, the NCAA hurriedly changed its bylaws last July so such arrangements wouldn’t impact a player’s eligibility.

On Thursday, Krzyzewski’s Final Four news conference preceded NCAA president Mark Emmert’s annual meeting with reporters. Krzyzewski shared questions he would ask Emmert.

“I think the very first one is, where are we going? And who is going to be in charge?” he said. “Not that I’m saying that he shouldn’t be . ... But what are we doing to make sure we’re taking care of all divisions that are under your roof — men, women, all sports, those that make money and those that just make men and women out of people?”
