"An important part of being a leader is the ability to feel what your players--or employees--feel," he says. "I do a lot of feeling, and my guys know it. I can't dream up plays and defense without knowing how Shane Battier and Jason Williams feel. And it makes me a better coach."
Shane Battier -
Shane for president! Articles love to present Shane as Mr. Perfection. Shane shows off his intelligence on his website, where he proclaims that he is 'proficient with the Yahoo Search Engine'.
For some insight on Shane's 'relationship' with Coach K, we'll let Chris Burgess's father have a couple words. From this article:
'If you aren't on his good side, he doesn't fix that,' the elder Burgess added. 'If you are, you can do no wrong. It's like SHANE BATTIER - he can't do anything wrong...K has no sons, and he picks one of the boys to be his son, and he can do no wrong. Even the players on the team called Shane 'Shane Krzyzewski.''
