In 2002, ESPN reported that recruit Sean Dockery, now a sophomore, did not meet NCAA minimum requirements with grades and test scores through his junior year in high school.
In a special on college athletics and academics that questioned the practice of athletes being herded into certain majors, ESPN also highlighted the number of Duke players who have majored in sociology.
In both cases, Krzyzewski publicly objected to the tone and accuracy of the reports.

Kris Humphries -
Committed to Duke, then changed his mind and eventually ended up at Minnesota.
Nobody ever said exactly why Humphries decommitted, but an Indy Star (sorry, unable to link to- article purged from internet) article speculated:
"It's unclear why Humphries asked out of his Duke commitment, but speculation has centered on the possibility that Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski was not happy with rumors that one of his recruits might be leaning toward leaving for the NBA after just one or two years of college. It's believed that Krzyzewski traveled to Minnesota to speak with Humphries about that topic.
Another possibility mentioned is that Humphries realized there was a glut of big men at his position at Duke.
When asked why his son asked out of his letter of intent at Duke, William Humphries said "there's a legitimate reason" and added that the information would come out in the appeals process."
Here is an editorial from a Minnesota newspaper on the decommit.
