ESPN.com reported that an announcement could come Wednesday but that no news conference would happen until after Duke was done playing in the NCAA tournament. Asked about the reports Wednesday, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski told reporters: "I hope that's what it turns out to be. It's not a done deal. When it is, I'll comment on it."
