Duke coach bans players from locker room, wearing Duke apparel
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, on the mend after back surgery, held a meeting at his house Tuesday night in which he informed players that they were temporarily kicked out of the locker room and also forbidden from wearing Blue Devils apparel, sources told ESPN.
Sources told ESPN that Krzyzewski has employed this tactic multiple times in the past.
“He wasn’t happy,” said one source close to the situation. “Especially after the loss to NC State.”
Asked how long the penalties would last, a source close to the program said: “Until they start living up to the standards of the Duke program.”
After the meeting, the players held a separate players-only meeting, a source told ESPN.
“He needs to do more than just take away their jerseys,” added another source close to the program. “There are bigger issues that need to be addressed.”
