				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>More than 200 students from nine middle schools attended a rally at the Wells Fargo IMAX Theatre at Marbles on April 19 to celebrate the fact that they read a combined 23,680 books this school year. They had tracked the number of titles through Ticket to Reading Rewards, an incentive program to encourage independent reading in middle school.</p>
<p>This is the second year WCPSS middle schools have participated in the Ticket to Reading Rewards program, which is sponsored nationally by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Foundation and funded locally by General Parts International/CARQUEST. Duke University head men’s basketball Coach Mike Krzyzewski spoke at the rally to commend students for their efforts.</p>
<p>“When you read, you’re taking care of the single most important part of your body—your mind,” Coach K told the students. The winning coach told students that he encourages his players to read as much as possible and focus on the inspiring and powerful words that they read to motivate them to success.</p>
<p>Coach K said that his own parents had a limited education, his mother completing 8th grade and his father completing two years of high school. But they had big dreams for their two sons, and never could have dreamed of the things the men would accomplish—”just like you can’t imagine all the the great things that are ahead of you,” Coach K told the students.</p>
<p>General Parts International President and CEO O. Temple Sloan III also spoke at the event, along with WCPSS Senior Director for Middle School Programs Dr. Ruth Steidinger. This year’s participation was an increase over last year’s program, in which students at 10 middle schools read 16,500 books.</p>
<p>“The program gives them a goal,” said Kathy Rhoades, senior administrator for middle school language arts at WCPSS. “It motivates kids who ordinarily wouldn’t be independent readers.”  In addition to the rally, students received rewards for reading throughout the year, including water bottles, key chains and ice-cream socials, all funded by General Parts International. GPI also provided funding to the participating schools to purchase books and e-readers to enrich students’ reading choices at school.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mike Krzyzewski, the winningest coach in the history of NCAA Division I men’s basketball and the longtime Head Coach at Duke University, will be honored as the recipient of the 2013 Dick Enberg Award, presented by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).</p>
<p>Krzyzewski will receive the award as part of the fourth annual Capital One Academic All-America Hall of Fame Gala on Wednesday, June 12 at CoSIDA’s annual convention in Orlando, Fla., which for the first time will be part of the annual NACDA Convention.</p>
<p>Known throughout the sporting world simply as “Coach K”, Krzyzewski has enjoyed unparalleled success in national and global circles throughout his distinguished 38-year career as a head coach at Duke, the United States Military Academy and with USA Basketball.  He became the winningest coach in NCAA Division I play on November 15, 2011 by surpassing his collegiate coach and mentor, Bob Knight, in the Blue Devils’ 74-69 triumph over Michigan State, and his legacy of 952 career victories (879 at Duke) is enhanced by four national championship seasons in 1991, 1992, 2001 and 2010.</p>
<p>In international competition, Krzyzewski has led the United States to back-to-back gold medals at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China and again last summer in London.  The five-time USA Basketball National Coach of the Year also guided Team USA to the 2010 FIBA World Championship in Istanbul, Turkey.</p>
<p>As staggering as that success is, Krzyzewski’s numbers off the court are just as impressive.  He has coached five Academic All-America performers during his career, including two-time honorees Shane Battier, Greg Paulus and current Blue Devil Mason Plumlee, and his players have received 52 All-ACC Academic Basketball honors.  But the most impressive statistic of all is that Duke boasts a 98 percent graduation rate of all student-athletes who have matriculated four years during Krzyzewski’s tenure.</p>
<p>“The Enberg Award continues to be the highest honor I’ve ever received, and it grows in significance with the acceptance this year by Coach K,” Enberg says of Krzyzewski’s honor.  “In over 50 years of broadcasting, I’ve been blessed to rub shoulders with coaching greatness, ranging from (Academic All-America Hall of Famer) John Wooden to Al McGuire to (1999 Enberg Award recipient) Dean Smith and to Coach K.  Like the others, Mike Krzyzewski epitomizes a professor’s active concern for academic success, a quality that has contributed to his being one of the greatest winners in all of sport.”</p>
<p>“Certainly, I am honored to receive such a prestigious award from CoSIDA, particularly one named after someone I respect as much as Dick Enberg,&#8221; said Krzyzewski. &#8220;It is quite humbling to see my name among some of the previous recipients of this award. We&#8217;ve always believed the proper academic experience is such a vital part of a young man&#8217;s growth process. I&#8217;ve been blessed at both Army and Duke to have so many players live by that belief and perform so well in the classroom, as well as on the basketball court. This is really their award.&#8221;</p>
<p>A three-year standout and team captain under Knight at Army, Krzyzewski graduated from West Point in 1969 and served as an officer for five years, attaining the rank of captain until his resignation from the service in 1974.  He returned to his alma mater in 1975 and served as Army’s head coach for five seasons, amassing 73 victories and garnering a pair of Coach of the Year accolades before heading south to Durham in 1980.</p>
<p>Since the 1983-84 season, Coach K’s Blue Devils have averaged 28 wins per season, with 30 or more victories on 12 occasions.  He joins Wooden and Kentucky’s Adolph Rupp as the only three coaches in NCAA Division I history to capture four or more national championships, and along the way he has mentored seven National Players of the Year (nine honors), 25 All-Americans, eight ACC Players of the Year and 78 all-ACC selections. In addition, 45 Blue Devils have been selected in the NBA Draft, including a record-25 first round picks.</p>
<p>A 12-time selection as National Coach of the Year, Krzyzewski was presented for induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame by Knight in 2001.  He was named as “America’s Best Coach” by Time Magazine and CNN in 2001, and he was the second recipient of the John R. Wooden Legends of Coaching Award.  On November 17, 2000, the fabled floor at Duke’s Cameron Indoor Stadium was dedicated as “Coach K Court” in his honor.</p>
<p>&#8220;I played for the greatest college coach of all time,” said Battier, who earned National Player of the Year and Academic All-America of the Year accolades as a senior in 2001.  “Coach K&#8217;s coaching, leadership, and basketball acumen is unparalleled.  But more than basketball is his emphasis on academics and the life-lessons I learned from him.  There is no one more deserving of this prestigious award.&#8221;</p>
<p>“Since the day I arrived at Duke, Coach K has pushed me to be the best possible person on and off the court,” said current Blue Devil standout Plumlee. “He is a great leader because he cares about his players on a personal level and encourages us to strive for excellence on the court, in the classroom and in the community. Obviously, he is a great coach, maybe the best ever. He is an even better teacher of life-lessons.”</p>
<p>Krzyzewski and his wife, Mickie, are active members of the Durham community and have impacted the entire country through their efforts.  In February 2006, the Emily Krzyzewski Center (named for his late mother) opened with the mission to inspire economically disadvantaged students to dream big, act with character and purpose, strive for academic excellence and reach their highest potential as future citizen leaders.  Krzyzewski serves as the Chairman of the Emily K Center Board while also on the Board of Directors of the Jimmy V Foundation since its inception in 1993 after being personally asked to do so by his longtime friend and foundation’s namesake, the late Jim Valvano.  In addition he is also the President of the NABC Foundation and is an active participant with the Duke Brain Tumor Center and Hoops Dream Advisory Council.</p>
<p>The Krzyzewskis are also large philanthropists and supporters of Duke University &#8211; creating the Krzyzewski Family Scholarship Endowment for Duke students from the Carolinas and endowing a full athletics scholarship in tribute to his brother, the Bill Krzyzewski Captains Scholarship as part of the Duke Basketball Legacy Fund.  In addition, they both served as co-Chairs for the building of the $32 million McGovern-Davison Children&#8217;s Health Center opened in 2000.  They participate annually in raising millions for the hospital through the Holiday Cards program,  Radiothon and other community events.</p>
<p>Coach K has received an Honorary Alumnus Award from the Duke Medical Center for his contributions to the Duke Children’s Health Center. Krzyzewski and his family have made the center a focal point in their efforts to raise the standard of clinical care for children.</p>
<p>Krzyzewski becomes the fifth major college coach to receive the Dick Enberg Award, which will now have been bestowed on both the winningest men’s and women’s head coaches in NCAA Division I history.  University of Tennessee Head Coach Emeritus Pat Summitt, who received the Enberg Award in 2007, combines with Krzyzewski for 2,049 career victories and 12 NCAA national titles.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Duke head men&#8217;s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski was named co-recipient of the 2012 USA Basketball National Coach of the Year Award after leading the USA Men&#8217;s National Team to the gold medal at the 2012 Olympics in London. Krzyzewski received the honor alongside Geno Auriemma, who led the USA Women&#8217;s National Team to a gold-medal finish in London, as well.</p>
<p>The award is the fifth for Krzyzewski, who also received the honor in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2010.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well first of all, (this award means) continuity,&#8221; Krzyzewski said. &#8220;In other words, in order to have an opportunity to keep winning them means you had great teams that accomplished. For any coaching award, it&#8217;s what the players have done. It&#8217;s LeBron James, and Kobe (Bryant), and Kevin Durant and all of those guys coming through. I&#8217;ve been a lucky guy to be a part of it for seven years, and in five of the years there was some kind of competition.&#8221;</p>
<p>Krzyzewski led the USA men to an 8-0 record in the 2012 Olympics in London, England, and led the USA Men&#8217;s National Team to a 5-0 exhibition slate in the run up to the Games.</p>
<p>&#8220;Coach K meant everything to our success,&#8221; said LeBron James (Miami Heat), USA guard and three-time Olympian. &#8220;He came in with his mindset, his game plan and with his truths and beliefs, and we all followed him. He meant everything to our team and it has been an honor to play for him.&#8221;</p>
<p>Winning its Olympic games by an average of 32.1 points per game, the USA&#8217;s 156 points scored in a victory against Nigeria on Aug. 2 were the most points scored by any team in Olympic Games history.</p>
<p>The USA listed No. 1 in six of 13 major statistical categories among the 12-team Olympic field, including points per game (115.5), field goal percentage (.523), 3-point percentage (.440), rebound average (44.6), steals per game (10.4) and assists per game (25.0).</p>
<p>Among 2012 Olympic single-game bests, the USA listed No. 1 in points scored (156), field goals made (59), field goal attempts (88), field goal percentage (.711), 3-pointers made (29), 3-point attempts (46, twice), 3-point percentage (.630), free throws made (28), free throw attempts (38), assists (41) and steals (17); and the team established U.S. Olympic single-game records for points scored, field goals made, field-goal percentage, 3-pointers made, 3-pointers attempted and assists (tied).</p>
<p>Under Krzyzewski&#8217;s guidance, the team set U.S. Olympic competition records for 3-pointers made (129), 3-pointers attempted (293), 3-point percentage (.440), rebounds (357, eight games) and highest rebound average (44.6).</p>
<p>Taking part in USA Basketball&#8217;s Hoops for Troops program as well, Krzyzewski and the USA Men&#8217;s National Team conducted an open practice for approximately 3,100 military members and their families on July 14 at the D.C. Armory.</p>
<p>Currently in his 33rd season at Duke, Krzyzewski led his team to a 27-7 record in 2011-12, reaching his 27th NCAA Tournament and recording his 903rd win to become Division I college basketball&#8217;s all-time wins leader.</p>
<p>The USA Basketball Board of Directors is responsible for selecting USA Basketball&#8217;s annual awards.</p>
<p>The National Coach of the Year award was established in 1996 to recognize a USA Basketball head coach who, during the year of the award, made significant impact on the success of individual athlete and team performance at the highest level of competition.</p>
<h2>USA Basketball</h2>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Great for most of the Olympics, just good enough for gold.</p>
<p>The U.S. men&#8217;s basketball team defended its title by fighting off another huge challenge from Spain, pulling away in the final minutes for a 107-100 victory on Sunday and its second straight Olympic championship.</p>
<p>And just like 2008, the star-studded Americans had to work for this one.</p>
<p>LeBron James capped one of basketball&#8217;s most brilliant individual years with a monster dunk and a huge 3-pointer in the final 2:50 that finally wrapped up a close, back-and-forth game that few would have seen coming after the Americans had been so dominant for so long in London.</p>
<p>Yet four years after beating Spain 118-107 in a classic in Beijing, the U.S. found itself in another tight one, unable to ever really slow the Spanish down until the closing minutes.</p>
<p>&#8220;We knew it wasn&#8217;t going to be easy. We didn&#8217;t want it easy,&#8221; James said. &#8220;A lot of teams have won gold easy. We didn&#8217;t want it that way. We&#8217;re a competitive team and we love when it gets tight. That&#8217;s when our will and determination kind of shows. It was the same way in &#8217;08.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kevin Durant scored 30 points and James had 19 on a day he joined Michael Jordan as the only players to win the NBA title, regular-season MVP, NBA Finals MVP and Olympic gold in the same year.</p>
<p>Coach Mike Krzyzewski, who has said he&#8217;s retiring as national team coach after restoring the Americans to their place atop world basketball, emptied his bench in the final minute</p>
<p>James stood with both arms in the air, then held Durant in a long hug before they both headed to the bench.</p>
<p>The Americans, who insisted they were better than their 2008 version and even good enough to take a game from the 1992 Dream Team, may not have been at that level.</p>
<p>Still, they were better again than Spain &#8212; though not by much.</p>
<p>When the final horn sounded, Krzyzewski locked James in a tight embrace as Bruce Springsteen&#8217;s &#8220;Born In The USA&#8221; rocked the arena.</p>
<p>The Americans hugged at midcourt, guard James Harden holding a doll of the Olympic mascot, and then after being handed flags, this group of NBA players &#8212; and one kid just out of college &#8212; who grew into a tight-knit group during their time together, paraded around the floor, the Stars and Stripes flowing off their backs like capes.</p>
<p>Yes, they were Olympic superheroes again, but they had to fight until the finish.</p>
<p>&#8220;To do it twice is a special moment,&#8221; Carmelo Anthony said. &#8220;As the U.S. men&#8217;s team, we go through a lot. For us to persevere the way we did is just a special moment for myself, and for the guys who are on this team.&#8221;</p>
<p>For Kobe Bryant, it was his last Olympic moment.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is it for me,&#8221; said Bryant, who scored 17 points and now has a second gold medal to go with his five NBA championships. &#8220;The other guys are good to go.&#8221;</p>
<p>Pau Gasol scored 24 points and Juan Carlos Navarro had 21 for Spain, which was again just a few minutes from its first basketball gold but couldn&#8217;t finish the job against the Americans.</p>
<p>The U.S. came in averaging nearly 117 points and stomping on their competition with such ease that even the Olympics&#8217; own daily preview had a hard time envisioning intrigue, writing that it would &#8220;likely take a great game from Spain and an off-day from the USA to cause an upset.&#8221;</p>
<p>Well, Spain brought the great game and trailed by only a point heading into the fourth quarter.</p>
<p>But the Spanish somehow lost sight of James, and the game&#8217;s best player drove uncontested and threw it down for a 99-91 lead with 2:48 left. After Marc Gasol dunked, James dribbled outside the circle with Marc Gasol giving him just a bit too much room, and James pulled up for the 3 that made it 102-93 with 1:59 to play.</p>
<p>Pau Gasol then was called for an offensive foul on a pick, and the Americans could sense that it was over.</p>
<p>Gasol, who carried the flag for Spain in the opening ceremony, nearly carried his country to its greatest Olympic basketball glory, but had a big miss inside with Spain down by six about three minutes to go, screaming out loud in frustration as he went back down the court.</p>
<p>Then James finished it off.</p>
<p>It was the 14th gold medal for the Americans, who lost at least five players who might have been on the team when Dwight Howard, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Derrick Rose had to pull out with injuries and Blake Griffin was hurt in training camp.</p>
<p>Along the way, they showed they could be vulnerable during their exhibition schedule, falling into early holes against Brazil and Spain, having to hold on against Argentina.</p>
<p>Any concerns once they arrived in London seemed to be wiped away quickly &#8212; just the way the Americans play.</p>
<p>They were tested only once, beating Lithuania 99-94, and the statistics revealed a tournament that was more varsity against junior varsity than best in the world against each other. The Americans came in leading the tournament in eight statistical categories, with laughably lopsided advantages in points off turnovers (198-77) and fast-break points (175-55).</p>
<p>James didn&#8217;t seem too concerned Sunday, laughing his way through warmups, even when he badly botched a dunk.</p>
<p>He and the Americans would soon realize this one wasn&#8217;t going to be all fun and games.</p>
<p>They used an 18-4 run to wipe out their early five-point deficit and made seven 3-pointers in the first quarter, yet led by only eight points. Spain then opened the second period with a 12-2 burst, taking a 39-37 lead on a 3-pointer by Sergio Rodriguez.</p>
<p>Spain, long considered a finesse team, came to fight in this one, Rodriguez delivering a blow to Tyson Chandler&#8217;s ribs while setting a pick that led to technical fouls on both players.</p>
<p>Both teams grew frustrated with the officiating &#8212; Spain in particular when Marc Gasol was called for his fourth foul while going for a rebound with 5:29 remaining in the first half. The Spanish scored their final seven points on free throws, cutting the U.S. lead to 59-58.</p>
<p>Though a gold-medal rematch was expected before the Olympics, the Spanish struggled in London, losing twice in the preliminary round and saying that just getting to the gold medal game was an accomplishment given some injuries they faced. The Americans waved off Spain&#8217;s claims of being tired and hurt, and, sure enough, the Spanish team they expected showed up in the final.</p>
<p>Size was always the Americans&#8217; biggest obstacle, and the 7-foot-1 Pau Gasol dominated them to start the second half, scoring Spain&#8217;s first 13 points to give them a 71-70 lead at the midpoint of the third quarter. Serge Ibaka at 6-10 also hurt the U.S. inside, and the Americans led only 83-82 heading into the fourth.</p>
<p>Though this was expected to be the final international game for Krzyzewski and Bryant, the U.S. will apparently still be able to bring its best to the next Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro. Though the NBA has said it might prefer an under-23 age limit for the Olympics, FIBA&#8217;s secretary general said Saturday he doesn&#8217;t see any changes being proposed in time for 2016.</p>
<p>James isn&#8217;t sure if he will return after he, Bryant, Anthony, Chris Paul and Deron Williams joined a list of 13 Americans who have won multiple gold medals.</p>
<p>Krzyzewski, who matched Hank Iba as the only coaches to lead the U.S. to consecutive golds, has said this will be his last game &#8212; though USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo promised to do his best sales job to bring the respected coach back.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI) today announced that Mike Krzyzewski, head coach of the Duke University Blue Devils and the USA Basketball Men’s National Team, will host a USA Basketball preview edition of his SiriusXM show on Monday, July 9 (7:00 pm ET).</p>
<p>The two-hour episode of Basketball and Beyond with Coach K will be co-hosted by Sports Illustrated’s Seth Davis and will air nationwide on Mad Dog Radio (SiriusXM channel 86), offering listeners a preview of USA Basketball’s summer events.  The show will feature a roundtable discussion on international basketball with USA assistant coaches, plus interviews with some of the players who will be competing this summer.</p>
<p>&#8220;Representing the U.S. in the Olympics is an incredible honor and one of the great thrills of my career in basketball,&#8221; said Coach K.  &#8220;The international game continues to grow stronger and fans will see a remarkable amount of talent displayed this summer.  All of us at USA Basketball are excited for the challenge ahead and I&#8217;m looking forward to sharing that enthusiasm with our listeners on SiriusXM.&#8221;</p>
<p>“Basketball fans are looking forward to an exciting international competition later this month and we’re thrilled to have Coach K give our listeners this special preview of the U.S. squad and the teams they’ll be facing,” said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM’s President and Chief Content Officer.</p>
<p>Krzyzewski has been involved with USA Basketball as a coach on and off since 1979, when he started out as an assistant to Bob Knight with the USA Pan American Games team that won gold.  Since that time he has helped lead the U.S. to eight gold medals, two silver medals and two bronze medals.  He was an assistant on the storied 1992 Olympic “Dream Team,” which featured Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, Larry Bird, Patrick Ewing and Karl Malone and won gold in Barcelona.  As head coach of the USA National Team since 2006, Krzyzewski has guided the team to gold medals at the 2010 FIBA World Championships and the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.</p>
<p>In 36 years as a head basketball coach, Coach K has built one of the most extraordinary coaching resumes in sports history.  He is the all-time winningest head coach in Men’s Division I basketball history with a record of 927-291.  He has led Duke to four NCAA Championships (1991, 1992, 2001 and 2010), 13 ACC Tournament championships and 11 Final Four appearances, and his teams consistently boast one of the best graduation rates in college basketball.  Coach K has received 12 National Coach of the Year honors and was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2001.</p>
<p>Basketball and Beyond with Coach K airs weekly during college basketball season (Wednesdays at 7:00 pm ET) on Mad Dog Radio.  The show features discussions on a wide array of topical issues and showcases Krzyzewski&#8217;s personal perspective on principles for life on and off the court, plus interviews with a variety of guests, including business leaders, entertainers, coaches and athletes.  The show replays on SiriusXM College Sports Nation, channel 91.</p>
