Coach K: Why does limp| Son in law| Limp| Does have son in laws
Why does limp:
This is what can happen when you try to plan a retirement ceremony with 9,000 of your closest friends, with the tricky caveat of including a basketball game.
This was to be Mike Krzyzewski’s night. Duke staged one of the grandest send-offs college sports had ever seen. It was nostalgic. It was elaborate. It was quintessentially Duke. Which means a lot of people loved it and a lot of people hated it. Which means it was perfectly done. All of this created the biggest buildup, probably ever, to a regular season.
Son in law:
Mike Krzyzewski and his son in law Chris Spatola have this in common — they both were the skinny kids with dark hair who played basketball at Army West Point.
These days Spatola can be heard on his radio show or calling college basketball games where he doesn’t shy away from criticizing Duke as an analyst. The same place where he sat under the Krzyzewski learning tree as an assistant coach from 2007-2012.
Limp:
“The reason I got into it is because I wanted to be worthy of the wine he was breaking out, but also be able to converse with him about it,” Spatola explained. “Outside of all the obvious stuff, that’s another area of common ground.”
Sometimes the Spatola’s will host the family holiday meal where they provide everything. But they’ll never say no to Coach K breaking out a special bottle of wine.
“We have different tax brackets so the purchasing of wine is different,” said with a smile. “My home, we’ll do the meal, but if you want to bring the wine, we can relent on that because I always know we’ll be drinking a lot better wine if he’s bringing it than if I was providing it.”
