Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski was in a joking mood Friday when asked about President Barack Obama picking North Carolina to win the national basketball title.
On Wednesday, Krzyzewski – who has been a supporter of Republican candidates - said, “Somebody said that we're not in President Obama's Final Four, and as much as I respect what he's doing, really, the economy is something that he should focus on, probably more than the brackets."
Krzyzewski said that with a smile on Wednesday, but just to make sure the president didn’t feel insulted, Mickie Krzyzewski sent a text to former Duke player Reggie Love, who works for Obama.
Krzyzewski said his wife told Love the comment wasn’t meant as a jab, and Love replied that the president wasn’t concerned at all.
