Interesting read from Seth Davis on K balancing Team USA and Duke reponsibilities. Excerpt & link below:
Though he did not miss much road time during the critical July evaluation period for recruiting, he does concede he had "blinders on" while coaching the U.S. team.
That's why, when he returned to Durham this month, he spent a lot of time conducting individual workouts, a job he usually delegates to his assistants. "I do them so I can touch my team and be with them," he says. "I've had them over my house more, too. I know how much I focused on [USA Basketball], but the neat thing is, everybody understood, and I feel like basketball-wise I'm way ahead in preparation for the season."
That's another reason why Krzyzewski says he is so pumped for the coming season.

Looking forward to see how the input from the other Team USA coaches may impact Duke's approach this season.
