Coach K knee surgery causes Blue Devils to cancel Dominican Republic trip

"After three consecutive days of working with the team, it became clear that the condition of my knee wouldn't be sustainable through next season. " 

Sixth surgery in the last 17 months for him.  How many more seasons of coaching can he have in him?

I find it very odd that they cancelled the entire trip.

Agree.  Why not let the kids get the experience with the assistants running the show?

Wonder if K will get an extra year of eligibility with all of his injury troubles.

Beyond the team chemistry gained of spending a week in a foreign country, do these trips help with anything?  If anything, you're dominating bad competition and you would've been better off in your practice gym scrimmaging your second team.

How far out do people schedule/plan a knee replacement surgery?  This isn't a surgery to repair something from a sudden injury.  Coach K obviously knew this knee replacement would be coming up.  He didn't just suddenly decide it was necessary and the next week he's having it.  This was all planned.  So Duke gets a bunch of extra practices that no other team gets unless they're taking a foreign trip and then doesn't waste any time with their foreign trip.

Pretty savvy.
