The whole interview with head coach Mike Krzyewski is up on YouTube here. They've disabled the embedding for it, or we would post it directly on the blog.
The majority of the interview focuses on Krzyzewski's commitment to his family. His wife Mikie says that living with four women in the house has softened the coach, and allowed him to better listen to and understand his players and recruits.
Mikie even says that she and her daughters must meet with every player during his recruiting process, both to persuade them to play in Durham and to see what their personality is like.
"Our family meets every recruit before he commits to coming to Duke," Mikie says. "There were times where we gave the thumbs down [with a player]."
The most startling revelation found in the interview can be found around the 6:30-minute mark: Krzyewski loves karaoke.
"He's got some good moves. Usually it's Motown," his daughter Lindy says. "He's a big Motown guy, big Smokey Robinson guy."
When asked if he truly had golden pipes to go along with his legendary mouth, Krzyzewski laughed and said, "She's lying."
