MINNEAPOLIS _ The favorites were down 11 at halftime, the favorites had been down 22 earlier, and perhaps it was time for the coach to pick the players up by the neck, Bob Knight-style, and force them to do what he wanted.

"We told them we weren't calling any more plays," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "I said, `Just go down and follow your instincts and let's be men. Let's be the team we've been all year long and let's play defense.' "
Duke went on to beat Maryland, 95-84, in Saturday's national semifinal, and the Krzyzewski legend took on another coat of gold.
We're not calling any more plays.
Follow your instincts.
