Marquette found its replacement for Buzz Williams in Mike Krzyzewski's coaching tree. The Golden Eagles introduced Duke assistant Steve Wojciechowski as their next men's basketball coach Tuesday, with Krzyzewski's long-time right-hand man saying he wants to follow his mentor's lead while bringing his new program to similar heights. Krzyzewski ''allowed me to understand just how fun and incredible the game of basketball is, but when used the right way, how it can change your life,'' Wojciechowski said during his introductory news conference in Milwaukee. ''I hope to do that here at Marquette.'' University President-Elect Michael Lovell called Wojciechowski, 37, ''a winner on the court'' who ''has all the values that we expect at Marquette University.'' He replaces Williams, who left for Virginia Tech last month after leading Marquette to a 139-69 record and five NCAA tournament appearances in six seasons.
