lot of people view that as denigrating to women, but they explained it's not that at all. men in the united emirates, for example, they all wear white. they call it a national dress. it's something their very proud of. it's something i've come to understand and appreciate and love wearing my own abayas when i'm there. tonight, the scandalous football hero. i'll talk to a man who knew him well, duke's coach k. >> somebody who has given six decades service to the university and done such an incredible job. i thought it was a real mistake by penn state's leadership. >> why coach k tells me living the american dream and going for gold with his basketball all-stars in london. plus, on her way to becoming one of the most decorated american women in history.

what scares her? >> nothing more nerve-racking than walking on in the finals. >> also, the tony on broadway. >> i didn't think i would even be nominated. >> you may not know james corden yet but i do. and you will, an up and coming super star. >> you don't know whether to shake his hand or lick his face. he's that attractive. >> this is "piers morgan tonight." we begin tonight with coach mike krzyzewski. a winner in every sense of the word. he made duke a basketball powerhouse. this summer, he carries the pride of america with him as he leads america's olympic basketball team to london. coach k, now, i know how important you are because everybody on my staff when they heard we were doing coach k got excited.

like, whoa, coach k. why are you such a big deal? >> you must have a lot of polish people on your staff. so it means everything's going to go great here. >> you have an incredible reputation based on one of the most greatest sporting careers america's seen. a peerless career. what does it mean to you to have that reputation? >> i've been really lucky to be at places where their brand help me right away. i graduated from west point, coached there. pretty good brand. my next gig is duke university. which has a global brand. and a good one. then i'm the coach of the u.s. national team that has a really good brand. so i've been on teams that have made me look a lot better. >> you've won 903 college games. outrageous. >> means i'm old and i've had good teams. >> also means you must hate losing so much that you just try and avoid it at all costs.

>> it's a good point. i think i hate losing more than i enjoy winning. but i think competitors in every sport, you would ask them, think they would all agree that the loss, the feeling of a loss, that depth, i don't know if you can ever reach it in height with a win. so you try to avoid that feeling as much as possible. >> do you believe as a coach instinctively you can learn more from a loss? >> i think you learn from every experience. a loss puts you in a position where you're more reflective. you can -- you go to deeper places than you do with a win. and you can get your group to do that. as an individual competitor, you're only concerned about you. but when you're with a group, what will they listen to? what's the environment are they listening to? sometimes they'll listen a lot better. most of the time, they listen a

lot better after a loss than after a win. >> you have in many ways the easiest job of any coach in the olympics and the hardest. we know it's the hardest because of what happened in athens with the debacle the dream team coming third. which for america was like a seismic bombshell. because, you know, i like basketball, it's my favorite american sport. i watch the lakers and the knicks. to me, when you have a team running out that includes lebron james and kobe bryant, it is almost impossible to imagine a scenario where you don't win olympic gold. yet we saw in athens the doomsday can happen. why do you think that happened in athens. what are you going to do to stop it from happening in london when the whole world assumes you're going to win gold quite easily? >> you don't go with assumptions. you go with reality.

reality is 20% of the nba is international, the reality, we did lose in athens. we lost in indianapolis in the world championships, we did lose in japan. we've lost. it's not like we haven't lost. and in the last olympics, we were only ahead by two points with eight minutes to go against spain. so you deal with reality. and you talk to our guys about reality. they know what it is to play against gasol and navarro from spain. they know what it is to play against tony parker. one of the best guards in the world. they understand on a one-game shot, if you're not on top of your gape, you can lose. and it's not a seven-game series. so we expect to win. we want to win. but we have to prepare like we expect to win. not assume like we expect to win. >> you've coached the american national team in 50 games. you've won 49. i would lay good money the game you think about most is how a team that you coached representing america lost to

greece. who i didn't realize actually played basketball. >> yeah, they do. and they play it very well. >> clearly. >> in fact, they -- >> how often do you think about that game? >> i think about it often. >> hourly? >> not hourly. we've won enough not to think -- but i think about it every time i'm preparing our u.s. team. because why did we lose. and we lost because we weren't as good as they were at that time. in their game. and so it forced us to learn about the international game. and the nuances. the differences. it's eight minutes less. you get to the bonus quicker after five fouls. the ball has 12 panels instead of 8. the way the game's administered is different. so we have to make sure we don't prepare for this competition like a u.s. team. we prepare for this competition like an international team. >> what did you say to that team after they lost to greece? because i'm imagining that the

only reason they could have lost was primarily complacency. in some form. >> no, it wasn't, it was youth. they were an older team. the game was physical. i thought we were ready to play. i thought for one quarter they hit like 75% of their shots and we could not defend the pick and roll. and that's all it takes. it's just -- that's all it took. we tried to come back but we couldn't. after the game, we took collective responsibility. and that's really why we've won as much since. we win and we lose together. and carmelo anthony was actually interviewed after the game in the press conference. i knew we had a chance to be really good when carmelo said, look, congratulations to them. it was our fault. and as soon as our team started embracing plural pronouns, i knew we had a chance to build a good program. >> show unity? >> definitely.

in other words, that's part of the team. >> that's hard being an international coach, isn't it, you know, you have all these disparate great players. arguably, right now, one of the greatest squads in the history of basketball. kobe, lebron in the top five basketball players in history. >> right. >> so you're in a great position. i'm interested in how you deal with ego. when these guys are top dogs in their teams, absolutely peerless. i've seen lebron for the heat. he's unbelievable. i've seen kobe at the lakers. they are number one. how do you deal with them coming together? how do you get it to gel and to work where they have to share that status? >> the very first thing is you're honest with them. you set standards of how you're going to live with one another. like, you look each other in the eye. you always tell each other the truth. i don't believe in this expression leave your egos at the door. i want them to bring their egos in.

when we leave that room, we go out with a collective ego which says united states basketball. these guys have -- buying into it means like i've had to sell them on it. they haven't been that way. they understand. all these guys are really smart. they want to play for the united states. and the bottom line is they want to win. and they know that in order to win they have to get along. and they have to help make each other better. i think they like that. >> i never understand why ego is used as a -- the sportsman in history, mohammed ali. great egotist and revered as one of the great icons my lifetime. why is ego now seen as -- >> i want to coach egotistical guys. >> the best broadcasters i know

-- i won't name them because it might embarrass them. the best broadcasters have all gotten whopping big egos. it's what makes them good. comes a little bit of insecurity that makes them like that. little bit of paranoia. desire to be number one. it's all part of the same thing, isn't it? >> it is. the more powerful the egos you have, the more powerful a team that you could have. where you want to explode on someone else, if you don't get them all going together, then you explode your own unit. and i guess that's why people always talk about ego. because we got a chance to beat ourselves. and that's something really before we beat any opponent, our u.s. team has to make sure we don't beat us. and the seven years i've been doing it, the guys have cooperated fully and i'm hoping we get that same cooperation in london. i expect it. >> coming up, coach k on the sex abuse scandal that clouded the

i've lived an american dream. my grandparents come from krokov. my grandparents eventually migrated to chicago. all a sudden, i'm a cadet at west point, getting ready to become an officer for the united states army. and since then, have a chance to represent my country with basketball. i mean, i love our country. i think sports is an integral part of the spirit of or country. >> is the american dream still as attainable as it was when you were young? >> i don't think it is. i think we have to do more to help people in the low socioeconomic areas of our country. and today's immigrants have an opportunity to succeed in this culture. if we don't do a good job with that, especially with education,

the gap is going to keep growing. and i see it primarily in education. because the educational opportunities afforded to that -- those people are not nearly as good as, you know, the wealthy. >> and the tragedy of that is there's so much untapped talent. >> right. >> not least of which in sport. i mean, a lot of these kids who are drifting into gangs, jail, whatever it may be, could be potentially fantastic sportsmen. if they are driven out of an education system that doesn't nurture them -- >> well, you know -- >> then how can we blame them? >> intellect does not know race, color, nationality, gender. there are smart people. like i think i'm fairly smart. i grew up in this little polish community in chicago. i mean, if my parents didn't

have the stick to itness to make sure i got an education young, there's no way this would happen. we have to do that with kids at younger ages. or else they take their intellect into other areas. that's how we -- i think education, solving educational problems helps solve some of our crime problems. >> you've become in many ways a kind of surrogate parent to these kids. >> yes. >> what are the values that you like to instill in them, human values? >> the main thing is to be truthful. where you're honest with one another. when you're honest, if you can develop trust, to me, that's the key ingredient in any relationship. if you trust, a lot of things can happen. and have respect for -- have ownership, where you're not playing for me, we're playing together. i try to instill those values in my team. not just my duke team but our national team. >> what about their personal morality, their behavior pattern? do you get involved in that? >> not as much with that. if we see a kid straying --

first of all, we'll talk to them about academic integrity. you know. then we'll talk to them about respect. obviously i'm coaching a men's team, respect for women. and then we'll talk to them about respect for authority within our -- in our university community. and make sure that they understand that duke basketball player understands those concepts and lives by those concepts. >> probably only person that can rival you in reputation for college sport was joe paterno. his career came to this awful tragic end. how did you feel about that? someone who knew him well. worked in a parallel world to him for a long time. i mean, a very sad thing, wasn't it? >> no, it was horrible. i respected coach paterno my entire life. had a chance to get to know him really well in the last year of his life. we did a show together. i thought it was really not well done, you know, in handling the situation. it's a difficult situation to encounter. but you have somebody who's

given six decades of service to the university. and done such an incredible job. somehow, you have to -- something has to play out. and respect the fact that you've gone through all these experiences for six decades. it doesn't just go out the window, you know, right at the end. i thought it was a real mistake by penn state's leadership. >> if such a similar set of circumstances had happened at duke, you had a sandusky-like figure, innocent till proven guilty -- >> right. >> on the assumption of what we're hearing has some merit to it, how do you deal with that? what should joe paterno perhaps have done that he didn't? >> well, you should deal with it like any team should deal with it. in other words, i'm on the duke team. if that happened in my area, i would look to work with my athletic director and my president to have a solution. if that solution meant i would step down, i would do it in a

way which would be part of the solution. not like you're just thrown out. and you have to understand that. leadership, you may be asked to step down. and that's part of being a leader. >> finally, i can't think of a better person to answer this. you've seen so many players come and go, you've worked with the greatest basketball players. greatest sportsmen in many cases america's ever seen. what does it take to be a championship winner, not just a winner, but a champion over a long period of time. >> well, incredible commitment. you have to have talent. and you can't have a rearview mirror. you can't live in the past. and you can't be someone who rationalizes that since you've done it before, it's at that moment of training, that moment of competition where it would be all right to lose. you have to be a real "next play" person.

to take the experiences you've had in winning with you. none of the rationalization. and when you do, it's an incredible feeling. and then you separate yourself from those who would not do that and that's part of sport. >> you could be only the second, i believe, american basketball coach to win back-to-back olympic gold medals. what would that mean to you personally? >> i'll decide on that after it's over. i'm not -- i'm really a "next play" type of guy. like, i'm only focused on this thing. if we do it, then we'll look back at some time in my life and say, boy, it was a really cool thing to do. that can't be the motivated. in other words, i'm going to take a group and we're going to try to be one and we're going to try to win the london olympics, okay. why would they be all concerned about my second gold medal?

i don't want -- they shouldn't play for that. they should play for their gold medal right now. think part of being a coach is being on the page of the competitor you have the privilege of coaching, not them being on your page as far as accomplishment. >> put me in the dressing room before the first game in london. looking around. kobe bryant. lebron james. chris paul. whoever you choose as starters. what do you say to guys in that moment? >> yeah, well, you keep it simple. you never have long talks. but you talk about playing for the united -- you talk about the things, you know, that kind of get your heart moving a little bit. and the fact of legacy. like they will want to look back at this and to understand that they played great in every ball game. and it's not -- it's not the nba where you're going to have a second chance. in other words, if you lose, that's it. they're all seventh games in a

series. you know, like in the nba, the final game. but to keep it simple, and by that time, we should have great camaraderie. and make sure it's fun. they want to have fun when they're doing this. >> do you think that those guys in that moment understand that playing for their country beats anything else? >> yeah, they do. and we will take the steps necessary to put them in situations leading up to that where they feel it. see, think you can talk about things and you can see things. but you won't do real well unless you feel it. and we need to put them in a number of situations prior to that so when that moment comes, they have already felt that in their hearts. and we did that in beijing. we did it in istanbul for the world championships. more than anything, more than any offense or defense that i

might try to have them do, that one thing, of them being able to feel it, well, that's the most important thing for me in coaching our team. >> well, i feel it, i'm not even american. coach k, very inspiring. nice to meet you. next, the swimmer well on her way to becoming the most decorated american female olympian of all time. she talks about her life and her road to london.

>> you're on the verge, if you are successful in london, of being the greatest female swimmer in american history. statistically. >> it's -- >> how do you feel about that? it's quite a thing. >> it's pretty amazing. it keeps getting brought up. if i win two more medals, i could be the most decorated female athlete. it's a wonderful, wonderful thing to think about. >> is it just swimmer or athlete in total? >> female athlete, american. >> america's ever produced. >> yeah, yeah. so it's -- there's a little bit of pressure but more than anything i'm just amazed i'm in this position, you know, after two olympic games. and going into my third, there's -- that's going to be in the back of my mind. but i'm really just going to focus on event per event. that's how i approached it in the past and how i need to this summer. >> are you the female mike phelps or is he the male natalie coughlin? >> that's a nice way to say that.

in some ways i am the female michael. but, you know, it's apples and oranges. i'm incredibly proud of what i've done. what michael's done is insane. 14 gold medals. 16 medals total. i've been there for a lot of that. for all of that actually. i've been, you know, his teammate for all of that. i don't think i fully understand the gravity -- of what he's done. >> he seems very laid back. i interviewed him, he seemed laid back. but underneath all this cool exterior -- >> he's not laid back. >> no, i mean, there must be a ruthless rottweiler. when he stands there to dive in, he must want to kill everyone, right? >> yes. we are competitive by nature. i know you're competitive, too. that's just how we are. that's how we get to be where we are. we might be laid back in an interview but when it comes to what we do best, we're fierce competitors. >> when you're standing there, olympic final, you've got a

chance at winning a gold, as you will be, what is going through your mind in those last few seconds? >> before the race or during the race? >> just before it starts. >> just before the race starts, i'm just trying to repeat over and over in my head my race plan. my coach and i -- and fortunately my coach is going to be the head coach of the women's team. we come up with a plan. and so we know what to expect. at least a little bit. i just repeat that over and over. like a mantra. >> are you nervous? >> i'm incredibly nervous. there's nothing more nerve-racking than walking on to the pool deck at the olympic finals. >> what's the biggest nightmare? i have nightmares, all your teeth fallout, naked on air. what is your nightmare? sort of television broadcast nightmare. what is the swimmer's nightmare? >> the swimmer's nightmare is

not getting your suit on. those suits are incredibly difficult to put on. you have to show up and have all your equipment. i think just being locked in some random bathroom. not getting a suit on in time and missing the race. that's probably the biggest fear. >> what does it take for you to be an american competing in the olympic games? which is watched by the whole world? >> it's pretty incredible. the honor of being an olympic athlete is -- is crazy. it's not just about me. it's not just about the usa swimming team or even team usa. there's so many people back home cheering for you. all of a sudden, all these people care about the personalities as well as the performances. you know, i remember watching the olympic games 1998 when janet evans won her gold medals and matt biondi won his. and me saying back then as a 6-year-old that i want to go to the olympics some day. not even knowing what that means but knowing that's your goal when you're in an olympic sport. >> that moment when you're standing there as an olympic champion, describe it for people who can only ever dream of it. >> it's insane. the first time i was up there, it was an athens. so the audience was very

intimate. it was about 6,000 people. so i was able to pick out my family. my now husband. my grandparents. friends in the crowd. it's just overwhelming that you had dreamt of being there for so long. and then in beijing, it was strange because i'm not the most emotional person. and i was up there and i looked to the left of me and one of my teammates, she shed a tear. and then i started crying. and then i started crying because i was crying. and then by the end of the victory lap, i was just hysterical. like, snot coming down my face. eyes red. red face. and i see those pictures. i'm incredibly embarrassed. but it was -- >> what was going through your mind? why were you so emotional? >> it's an emotional event. it's hard to say. i was proud of myself. i was happy that that race was over to be honest. >> physically exhausted. >> physically, mentally,

emotionally draining. >> you mean you literally -- people talk in the cliche. giving it everything you've got. >> yeah. >> but you must literally give everything you've got. sort of like floating mass by the end -- >> you do. hundred backstroke, you're diving towards a cement wall backwards blind. at that point, you don't care if you break your hand because you want to get to the wall first. you literally do give your all. it's overwhelming. there's no way to describe the olympic games other than overwhelming. >> you also took 18 months out of the sport and you went on "dancing with the stars." captivated everyone doing that. very much a golden girl now. people are curious. having had a bad injury. having got out of the sport. achieved what many people would see as just so much really, what has sucked you back in? why continue? >> i love the day to day. i love being an athlete. i know how fortunate i am to be calling myself a professional athlete. you know, i'm late 20s.

i will still be late 20s by the end of the london games fortunately. >> you're ridiculously young and yet by olympic standards -- >> olympic standards, i'm old. >> does that feel weird, by the way? being in your late 20s and being called old? >> it does. but we joke about it. but then, you know, when we meet other people, i realize i'm not that old. but in swimming terms i am. most of my friends have real jobs. and they're in cubicles. and they're tucked away at a desk. and i get to be outside in the fresh air. i get to travel the world. i get to focus on my body. i love training. that's why i did it another four years. >> it's been a pleasure. best of luck. >> thank you very much. next, the story making a different kind of splash. actor and comedian james corden. a fellow brit who's taking broadway by storm.

york. and you were nervous. you were really nervous. you were, like, this is a big deal. this could be make or break for me in america. could you even imagined just how well this has gone? >> no, never. i could never have even -- i mean, beyond -- beyond my wildest dreams, i didn't think that i would even be nominated. you know, in my head, i would say to friends when we came out, we need to be back in five months or back in five days. because it was just so -- it was so unclear as to whether the show was going to take off in the manner that it has. and have the reaction that it needs to work as a comedy, you know. and so -- it wasn't a given it was going to work. the history boys. we came with a similar apprehension i guess. but then the show wasn't on my shoulders then. but it really felt like -- if this didn't work, then -- it felt like maybe i would never really get the chance to really come and work in america -- >> you made a very emotional speech. >> yeah. >> i want to play a bit of it. it brought a little lump to the throat of all those who know and care about you.

>> my girlfriend julia gave birth to our son like five days before we started rehearsals. and she's my -- she's my baby mama and i can't wait to marry her and -- seriously, she -- i would not be holding this if it wasn't for her. she made me say us instead of i. and we instead of me. and i love her. thank you very much. [ applause ] >> see, i know what that meant. i knew what you were getting at. that speech. because your life's been a roller coaster. you had this huge hit in britain. it made you for a while the biggest comedy star on british television. huge audiences. 8 million, 9 million people. then you sort of peaked. it looked like the bubble was burst.

i remember talking to you in that period, you were pretty down and low about that time. >> yeah. >> tell me about both those, the high and the low. >> well, the easiest way to explain it is when the history boys opened in new york and it was such a huge hit and there was eight young boys all of a similar age there were loads other -- all the other boys were coming in every day with endless film scripts. scripts and tv shows and offers and meetings with spielberg and all these things. i would get, like, one page of a script and it would be the guy who drops off the tv to hugh grant in a film. like, honestly, that was the -- that's a genuine script. not even an offer. i had to go in and audition with 20 other guys to be the guy who goes "tv for dave." you know, and that was it. and so then that was the reason for sitting down and writing "gavin and stacy" with ruth jones who is a wonderful actress and writer. we sat down and wrote the show. and completely out of the blue

it became like the biggest comedy show in the country. and with that came like a level of interest and kind of celebrity i guess. if you're the guy -- if you're the lad who was supposed to be the guy who drops off the tv to hugh grant and suddenly far more attractive women than should ever, ever have any interest in you starts to want to hang out with you. you're that guy. every time you go out, it's really intoxicating. and incredibly easy to get swept up in that. and i really did -- i mean, i went for it. just got a bit lost really. i was single for the first time in my life. i had been in a relationship, suddenly single, and little bit famous. and that's a bad mix, you know. >> the reason i want to talk about this, it puts into context the emotions you must have been feeling when you won the tony for best actor. you're sitting there with some the greatest actors ever. philip seymour hoffman.

>> who is my favorite actor in the world. i just knew i had to mention these other four actors who were -- you know, some of the best actors alive. james earl jones and philip seymour hoffman. just to be on that list was absolutely enough for me. >> let's take a short break. i want to talk about the fact you are despite what the world is seeing half the man you used to be. you know where i'm going here. ♪ [ acoustic guitar: slow ]

does it prefer eating or making love? [ laughter ] >> it's a tough one that, isn't it? [ laughter ] >> that's the current king of broadway, james corden. his tony winning role. i am back with james. you know why i've chosen that clip. a, it's very funny. b, you are half the man, as i said, you used to be. you've lost a dramatic amount of

weight. >> i've been trying to for quite a long time. and yeah, it was -- you know, kind of going back to what we were saying before, of just trying to live your life with a bit more respect for myself really. and so -- it's not been -- there's no great secret. i just -- basically worked out the bread's trying to ruin me. it's like kryptonite. 100%. bread is trying to ruin me from the inside out. i thought if i get to your age, then i'm finished. >> easy, tiger. you did say in your award winning speech, you were going to get married. >> yeah. i proposed christmas day. went for a walk. girlfriend knew something was up, never once said let's go for a walk. let's go for a walk.

really? come on, let's walk. i proposed and it was ugly. she's far too attractive for me. that's why i made the sensible choice of getting her pregnant and then proposing. because i mean, that's the only tip i can pass onto anyone, trying to pin down a woman who's way out of their league, then propose. it is difficult to say no after that. >> how does she feel about the other person in the relationship? i think you know where i'm going. let's have a look at the picture, shall we? that is you in a bath tub with david beckham. >> you know, shake his hand, lick his face, he is that attractive. that's me. my foot is two inches from golden balls. he is a gem. that was a sketch i did for comic relief, a huge charity

fund-raiser at home. he brilliantly was up for it. just got on ever since. he gets on with my friends that made those videos as well. i think he is the most lovely man. sent me the most beautiful text, i know how far you have been working and it is deserved. he is a gentleman. an absolute gentleman. >> he has been a great ambassador for our country. now, the "l.a. times," part of a comic's gift, he combines innocence with mischief. although he is 33, his face is of an adolescent boy that discovered beer, porn, and some new potato chip. >> there's porn on the internet. what? i mean, it is lovely. the things that have been written about me recently in the

play, you have to understand, you understand more than anyone, like i come from the latest suburb outside london. to sit here before i play this on broadway, let alone, winning the awards, having the reviews, it is so far beyond anything that you could imagine. you only ever really dream of these things. you never think they would actually come true, and it's, you know, if it is too much to take, all i'm so wary of is believing it and thinking i am more of a dude than i am. no one has been more supportive of i, especially in bad times, rough times, than you, and i always think that people, i always think you never really like it if someone says you're a good bloak. >> say it on twitter, they go bonkers. >> they get mad.

you love that. you absolutely love it. you tried to get me in a twitter war. i just kill you with kindness. it's the best way. people should know there's nothing -- there's no better way to get you, piers, you just go no! give me conflict! >> that's tragically probably true. >> it is 100% true. >> the reality is when you look at the totality of our relationship, it had highs and lows, the reason i was so moved what happened to you on sunday, i knew what you had been through to get to that special moment, i knew the down side and i knew how it got to you, and how you realized the kind of guy you had become wasn't what you wanted to be and i was very proud of you. congratulations. you flew the flag for britain. you are the beast of broadway. >> thank you so much. >> long may you continue. >> come back soon. >> i can't wait. >> james corden, the king of broadway. who would have thought that. no one!

[ female announcer ] to nurses everywhere, thank you, from johnson & johnson. october 27, 2007, was a beautiful autumn day. mariah was with her two friends. i didn't know the last time i

kissed her would be my last time. later that night, they were walking down this path when an underage drunk driver swerved off the road and hit them, mariah landed here. she died that night. we were only a block away from my house. mariah was only 14, and i'm thinking how did this happen? it is so preventable. my name is leo mccarthy. i give kids tools to stay away from drinking. our state has been notoriously top five in drinking and driving fatalities, the drinking culture is a cyclical disease that can continue. >> mariah can be the generation of you kids that shouldn't drink. >> in the eulogy, i said if you stick with me, four years, don't use alcohol and illicit drugs, i'll be there with a bunch of other peop
