Coach K will stay at Duke
Mike Krzyzewski is staying at Duke, ending talks with the Los Angeles Lakers about becoming their coach.
The school said Monday that Krzyzewski had informed the Lakers of his decision. An afternoon news conference was scheduled on campus.
Krzyzewski, who has led Duke to three national titles in his 24 years at the school, met with Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak on Thursday to discuss the team’s coaching vacancy, one of the NBA’s showcase positions. Even Lakers star Kobe Bryant was reportedly involved in trying to persuade Coach K to take the job.
The Lakers had no immediate comment Monday on the decision by Krzyzewski, who signed a lifetime contract with Duke three years ago.

Pirates 3, Marlins 1; Beckett pulled
MIAMI — World Series MVP Josh Beckett was pulled after four innings in his first game back from the disabled list, and Pittsburgh’s Kip Wells pitched eight shutout innings.
Beckett (4-5), who hadn’t started since June 17 because of a lower back strain, allowed two earned runs on five hits in his 73-pitch outing. He was making just his second start since May 30, a day before he went on the disabled list because of a blister on his right middle finger.
Wells (4-5) won for the first time since May 1, allowing four hits and striking out eight for his first win in eight starts.
Jose Mesa pitched the ninth for his 21st save in 22 chances, allowing an RBI double to Alex Gonzalez.
