Basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski added Love to the rotation in the low post when starting center Carlos Boozer went down with a broken bone in his right foot last week. For Love, that means less emphasis on spring football and more attention to the details of the basketball team. Love, a wide receiver, ought to feel comfortable in the setting. Now my role has stepped up. Football coach Carl Franks was adamant during the fall that he wanted football players to concentrate on football unless they had a regular role with another team on campus.
Love suddenly passes that test.
Basketball assistant coach Steve Wojciechowski said the coaching staffs have worked out a reasonable schedule for Love. He said the freshman from Charlotte has shown loyalties to both programs. He has dove right into it. He has been thrust right in there. Love, who isn't included in the basketball team's media guide, has participated in four spring football workouts that haven't conflicted with basketball activities.
