Legendary Duke Blue Devils head coach Mike Krzyzewski — better known as Coach K — said it's time to say "Black Lives Matter" in an impassioned video published by the school.
The former Team USA head coach described systemic racism and social injustice as "the problem, the disease, the plague that has been with our country for four centuries."
Coach K also said that "we as a country have the duty to solve this problem."
A United States Military Academy alumnus and a coach at West Point at the start of his Hall of Fame career, Krzyzewski called back to his time as a cadet in pleading for Americans "to choose the harder right."
