Even after two gold medals as a head coach and one as an assistant, Mike Krzyzewski has been telling his players they will experience something as equally special Friday night.
“The opening ceremonies is a showcase for sport worldwide,” Krzyzewski said Thursday after Team USA’s introductory news conference at the Rio Games. “It’s a celebration of every sport, from every country, under one roof.
