MOORE, Okla. - A band of thunderstorms battered the Oklahoma City area Thursday, slowing cleanup operations in the suburb where a tornado killed 24 people and destroyed thousands of homes this week.

Early estimates indicate the tornado caused more than $2 billion of damage in Moore.

Two elementary schools were hit - one was leveled - by Monday's tornado.

DURHAM, N.C. - Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski just couldn't pass on "the ultimate honor" of representing his country again as the U.S. men's national team coach.

Krzyzewski is returning as coach through 2016, extending a run that included leading the Americans to two straight Olympic golds while helping reshape a program that needed a jolt to keep up with the growth of international basketball.

Krzyzewski, 66, took over as coach as USA Basketball began its national-team program in 2005.
