Mike Krzyzewski said Monday that when the Olympic flame goes out, so will he. After winning gold in Beijing in 2008, and shooting for gold again in London this summer, Coach K will step down as the head coach of the U.S. men's basketball team. Could Calipari replace him? One Detroit writer doesn't think so. Michael Rosenberg of the Detroit Press says of Calipari: “He is a better coach than most fans realize, and as he just showed, he can handle the pressure of coaching a team that is supposed to win. But he is a walking controversy. He has too many feuds and too many friendships. He has a mutual love affair with James that could give the Heat star too much influence on a Calipari team. I don't see USA Basketball turning to Calipari.”
