Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski complains that his team’s success hasn’t been “celebrated” enough by the local press. News & Observer executive editor John Drescher responds: “Coach K, you’ve received a fair deal from us. To tell you the truth, we didn’t know you cared about us. We thought you only cared about ESPN, Sports Illustrated and The New York Times.” || More editor/ombud columns:
