Do not worry Duke faithful, it looks like head coach Mike Krzyzewski will be back at the helm for the Blue Devils' Saturday game against Florida State. 

Associate head coach Chris Carrawell said Krzyzewski will be ready for Saturday on the Duke Basketball Radio Show Wednesday night. Krzyzewski also gave some details into what happened during the Tuesday game he left when he appeared on College Sports on SiriusXM Thursday afternoon.


Krzyzewski said he was feeling light-headed during the first half, and told the other coaches to  "do more" and not "hold back" as he was not feeling good. When halftime hit, Krzyzewski stood up and was extremely light-headed and felt as if he could pass out. The 75-year-old received IVs from the team's medical team that night and said he is better now. 

"I don't know if it was my way of celebrating my 75th birthday," Krzyzewski joked. 

The Blue Devils had just wrapped up a four-game, eight-day stretch, with three of those on the road prior to Tuesday's game.
