Coach K Doesn’t Understand Why Obama Isn’t Starting Christian Laettner Against ISIS

Posted Nov 6, 2014
Duke general Mike Krzyzewski is pretty sure he knows how war works, because sports. While speaking at the Association of the U.S. Army conference last month, Coach K told the soldiers gathered that President Obama's "no boots on the ground" promise in the ISIS fight "upsets" him "because that's like saying I'm not going to play two of my best players." Basketball metaphors are pretty much always perfect and appropriate. (New York Magazine)
