"Krzyzewski is best known for his long and successful tenure as Duke University's head coach...Asked how he managed 12 of the NBA's brightest stars who often make headlines as much for their egos as their wins, Krzyzewski said, 'They're really good guys. They're professionals. They get it. They're brilliant. They want to play for the U.S., so it's not like me having to do some magical things to get them they want to do that. They want to do that. They want to cooperate. And then you are honest with one another and we've gotten to know each other over the years. So there's familiarity, there's friendship, there's trust and - but it comes from them. They were never a problem. Not one second. And totally - all of them, to a man say, "Coach, I'll do whatever you want me to do to win the gold medal." ... They're terrific.'"
