Duke in Pictures: Book Signing with Coach K

Duke men's basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski and his daughter Jamie Spatola sign books of their co-written book The Gold Standard: Building a World-Class Team Friday at Duke's Gothic Bookshop.

The book is Coach K's guide to team building, illustrated with experiences from his three years coaching the team that would ultimately win Olympic gold.

The book covers how he formed relationships with LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Jason Kidd, Dwayne Wade, and the rest of Team USA's NBA stars and how they established a set of standards to guide their performance, both on and off the court.

The event brought long lines of book and basketball fans to the Gothic for the reading.

Krzyzewski discussed his efforts with an Olympic team earlier this year at a Primetime employee forum. For his comments at the forum, click here.
