Mike Krzysewski is getting ready for next year without two possible stars, Luol Deng and Shaun Livingston. He doesn’t sound too worried about having only nine scholarship players. Two parts of this article stand out. First is Coach K’s quote, “If you’re not getting playing time this year, you’re bad.” Nice way to motivate the…

Now this is cool. The Triangle is about to get a second all-sports radio station. AM 1090, WTSB will begin its new programming on July 12. Competition should help a ton, especially since 620 and 680 seem to have gotten rid of all of their sports shows since 850 came on the air.
