Attempt at cleaning up grammar. In addition, I removed much unsourced POV. Article still needs a lot of sourcing. Ebtunc2006 03:53, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Mike Krzyzewski
Mike Krzyzewski has a whole section in his book, Leading With the Heart, about his friendship with Jim Valvano. Yet Krzyzewski isn't metioned once in this article. "Coach K" spent as much time as Jimmy V's family at his hospital bed. In this section he tells a very inspirational story about Jimmy V that hardly anybody knows about. Mike Krzyzewski invited Jim Valvano to Duke's practice. After the practice Jimmy V said something that made every single member of one of the greatest college basketball teams of all time cry. He said: “Life changes when you least expect it to. The future is uncertain. So, seize this day, seize this moment, and make the most of it.” I think that this story should be mentioned in this article.

UCONN
There should be talk here about his time at UConn as an assistant. It is a glaring hole in his history as listed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.28.72.253 (talk) 05:37, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
