It might be the pinnacle of the NCAA’s annual tournament, but these days, neither star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum nor his college head coach from his time with the Duke Blue Devils Mike Krzyzewski are playing ball at that level of the game anymore. But despite Tatum moving on to a wildly successful career in the NBA and Coach K enjoying his deserved retirement, the pair have stayed close over the years.
Krzyzewski and Tatum recently caught up very publicly in an interview for Sirius XM Sports that saw the St. Louis native and his former coach talk over some recent turbulence in that role for Boston with Ime Udoka being replaced by Joe Mazzulla in that job for the Celtics.
They also talk about the NBA grind as a young parent, Tatum’s life with Deuce, and more.
Check out the clip embedded above to hear their interview in full.
