ANALYSIS Jeff Capel isn’t looking at it as an audition, which makes sense for an interim coach tak- ing over a championship-caliber team during a pivotal point of the college basketball season. But even so, Capel is auditioning for one of the most coveted jobs in all of college sports: the head basket- ball coaching position at Duke whenever Mike Krzyzewski de- cides to step down. Capel can frame it whichever way he’d like — that it’s still Krzy- zewski’s team, Coach K is coming back in a few weeks and the Hall of Fame coach will still, of course, provide input while he recovers from lower back surgery.
