Coach K College Basketball Overview
"Coach K College Basketball" is a Sega Genesis title that adapts the NBA Live engine for the NCAA, featuring an official license and the endorsement of Duke University coach Mike Krzyzewski. The roster comprises 32 licensed college teams, such as Duke and the 1994 champion Arkansas Razorbacks, plus eight classic squads, though real player names are absent.
Control during play revolves around three primary actions mapped to the controller buttons, covering movement, passing, and shooting or blocking. Additional strategic plays can be activated during the action by combining a button press with the Start key, with the number of available moves dependent on the type of joypad connected.
Players can engage in Exhibition matches, a full Season, or a Tournament mode, with both of the latter offering three save slots each. The options and general structure of these modes carry over from the NBA Live series, maintaining a familiar framework for the college basketball setting.
