Indianapolis Star apologizes to Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski over 'juvenile' artwork

OK, so I'm a Tar Heels fan. I think the artwork is a masterpiece.

INDIANAPOLIS -- In Friday's early editions of The Indianapolis Star, the cover of the sports section featured a picture of Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski with some, well, artwork around him.

The newspaper added horns to his head, a bullseye and other markings on his face and the word "lose" several times in the space surrounding Coach K's tie.

The Indianapolis Star's sports section ran this on the front page for early editions of Friday's paper. It was subsequently changed for later editions.CAPTIONVia The (Anderson) Herald Bulletin
Though it made early editions, the image was changed for a later edition that circulates in Indianapolis. But there was a buzz about the image in the media room at Lucas Oil Stadium. (The (Anderson, Ind.) Herald Bulletin had preserved the artwork.)

The final-edition version was just a picture of Krzyzewski with the headline 'BOO DEVILS' across the bottom of the photo. (Here's picture of the final-edition version.)

1. Coach K never looked better...n/t

2. Oh, come on.

Okay, the bullseye is kinda creepy.

The rest is funny. And yes, juvenile. But so is sports.

Get over it, coach.

3. Duly ripped down.

For all the fat lot of good it's gonna do me when Coach Rat destroys a goddamn mid-major that they should have played in the opening game of the Maui Invitational to win it all. Again. :cry:

4. Jeez, the Star did something right for once, and apologized for it

I would like for them to apologize for their toilet paper-worthy opinion section.
