INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -The Indianapolis Star newspaper has apologized to Duke University after some of Friday’s editions included an illustration of coach Mike Krzyzewski with horns and a target drawn on his head.
The illustration on the front of the sports section accompanied a story titled “Despising Duke” that detailed how some fans strongly dislike the Blue Devils’ program.
Jim Lefko, the senior editor/sports, says the paper decided to pull the illustration “when we realized it didn’t meet our standards.”
He estimates the drawing appeared in fewer than 20,000 copies of the edition distributed statewide.
Krzyzewski was not amused, calling it “juvenile.”
