MIKE KRZYZEWSKI RUMORS
ROAD TO RIO?
Coach K to return for 2016 Olympics?
After leading Team USA to win gold at the 2012 London Games, Duke's Coach K announced he was stepping down from coaching the team. Now, however, he says he may have changed his mind.
Duke's Coach K May Return to USA Basketball After All
Mike Krzyzewski said he was done. He'd had enough of taking time away from Duke to get a bunch of over-paid superstars to forgo their egos for the greater glory of the nation (you know, that place where millions of people live that make their careers and salaries possible). No more; after guiding them to the gold in last summer's Olympic games in London he was done coaching...
Krzyzewski got all he could out of Duke team
In the end, Mike Krzyzewski got just about everything he could out of his Duke Blue Devils.
It didnt seem the season would end quite so early when Ryan Kelly went off for 36 points in his comeback game against Miami in late February. That night, it appeared the Devils were the national front-runners, and in many respects they were.
But nobody knew Kelly would go into the tank within...

Coach K concerned over player safety after Virginia fans rush court
Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski is no stranger to fans storming the court. His No. 3 Blue Devils have lost four games this season. All have been on the road, and the opposing fans have rushed the court each time. Virgnia fans did the same following their 73-68 upset over Duke on Thursday night, and Coach K expressed concern over it after the game. “When we’ve lost in the last...
FACE TIME
Coach K mocked by giant UVA cutout
Priceless. Virginia shocked Duke 73-68 at home on Thursday night, spoiling the No.3 Blue Devils shot at top spot in next week’s national college hoops polls, and giving themselves a much needed boost in terms of nailing a bid to the NCAA tournament next month. Cavs guard Joe Harris poured in 36 points, while Seth Curry led Duke with 28 in a losing cause. As for the picture above...
There won’t be any storming the court in Cameron Indoor Stadium on Mike Krzyzewski’s watch
The Duke Blue Devils mounted a second half comeback to beat rival North Carolina 73-68 in the first of two meetings between the schools. And though Duke, who is ranked #4 in the country and at home, was expected to beat an unranked UNC squad, Duke students still felt that the win warranted them storming the court.
Unfortunately for them, Mike Krzyzewski had other ideas and stopped...
Coach K’s letter to Michael Jordan after finding out he wasn’t going to Duke
Duke’s head coach Mike Krzyzewski and his 900+ wins is one of the classiest in the biz. After finding out Michael Jordan, a guard living in Wilmington North Carolina, wasn’t going to Duke, Coach K wrote the above letter.I’m guessing his tone may have been a little different had he known MJ decided on a school just 15 miles down the road from Durham.HT: Darren Rovell
Mike Krzyzewski Wrote Michael Jordan, Called Him ‘A Fine Young Man’ After Jordan Turned Down Duke for UNC (Photo)
With college recruitment and signing days becoming as televised and talked-about as games themselves, it’s hard to remember a time when picking a school was a much less formal process. A letter between Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski and former recruit Michael Jordan (who ended up playing for rival North Carolina, of course) shows just how different it used to be. Krzyzewski was among...
WAYBACK MACHINE
1980 letter from Coach K to Michael Jordan
When Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski was informed that Michael Jordan (sorry, Mike Jordan) had chosen not to attend Duke, he wrote the following letter to him. As we know, MJ chose to go to school up the road at North Carolina. And as they say, the rest is history. Coach K eventually graduated from using a typewriter to a word processor on a computer (gasp!)…and became a pretty...
