Krzyzewski says that changing his natural style would actually increase the chances of injury. Interesting point.

The point came up because Allen's fall Sunday came up - you'll recall that he went down hard after a dunk.

We never got to see 60's star Jeff Mullins play, but we always heard that he played exceptionally hard as well. It'd be interesting to see someone compare the two.
