WASHINGTON — Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski brushed off a question here Thursday relating to Michael Avenatti and Nike.
“No, I have — no, there’s nothing there,” Coach K said as his press conference at Capitol One Arena wound down ahead of Friday’s Sweet 16 matchup with Virginia Tech.
It came out during the Adidas college basketball trial last fall that Kansas assistant coach Kurtis Townsend discussed financial requests of the family of Duke freshman Zion Williamson during a phone call with Merl Code, one of the defendants who was later found guilty of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
