After feeling poorly and missing the second half of Duke’s 76-74 win over Wake Forest on Tuesday night, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski spent Wednesday recuperating and was feeling well enough to return to work on Thursday.
“I’m better,” Krzyzewski said Thursday during a radio show. “We went through a very taxing part of our season with four games in eight days, late travel and I still prepare the same way. That day for Wake, I wasn’t feeling that good. During the game, during the first half, I got lightheaded on the bench and I called (assistant coaches) Jon Scheyer and Chris Carrawell over and said, ‘Look, I’m not feeling great. You guys do more. Just don’t hold back.’
“Then I started feeling a little bit better during the half. Then, as I’m walking off the court at halftime, it’s the first time I had stood up — I really thought I could pass out. I got to the locker room and my medical people just gave me IVs and whatever. I’m better.”
