Krzyzewski says things, abominable things, that other coaches can't. Listen to him. Read his lips. Coach K gets away with it because he's Coach K. Need a reminder? Read the floor at Cameron Indoor Stadium

Random TAD Encyc. Entry
Myron Piggie - A former crack dealer and AAU coach who illegally paid Duke player Corey Maggette.

Basically it goes like this:

  • Maggette signs waiver that all NCAA athletes sign, indicating that they have not received any payments to participate in their sport
  • Maggette plays for Duke his freshman year, then bolts to the NBA.
  • After pressure from the law, Piggie admits that he paid Maggette and four other players $35,000 from 1996 to '98.
  • Maggette eventually admits that he took money from Piggie. Coach K said he was ready for any punishment the NCAA had for him, but surprise! the NCAA looked the other way.

    Dan Wetzel says this in a CBS Sportsline article:
    The Piggie scandal even reached its dirty tentacles into the once-pristine world of Mike Krzyzewski's Duke Blue Devils. If the NCAA truly believed in equal punishment for all members, it should vacate Duke's 1999 national runner-up finish from the books for playing the ineligible Corey Maggette
    It comes as no suprirse that former Duke assistant Quin Snyder recruited Maggette, as he 'can't avoid trouble at Missouri''.

    Here is a good article by Wentzel on this, with a timeline.
