Duke’s Coach K has insurmountable (for now) record
via Run the Floor
Mike Krzyzewski, better (and easier) known as Coack K of the Duke Blue Devils has a standing record that may prove to be insurmountable, at least in the near future. As the closest rival is mulling retirement, some young, maverick coaches may turn the tide. But for now, at least, the record is safe.

Will anyone catch Coach K?
Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski has 957 Division I wins, which is the most all time. The next active coach is Jim Boeheim who has 920, and after that it's a long drop to Bob Huggins at 710. Obviously Boeheim is the biggest threat to Coach K's record, but that would require Boeheim to coach longer than K, and then it would still likely take two years. But K is almost two and...
