Winning Time In The ACC: A Big Week Arrives For A High-Profile Conference
It’s good on a number of levels that Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski notched his 1,000th victory on Sunday, in a non-conference game against St. John’s. The win occurred outside the realm of the ACC. It served as a stand-alone event removed from the league race. The seminal achievement in the history of college basketball could therefore be appreciated solely on its own terms. None...

1K for Coach K
Sunday afternoon Duke Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski won his 1,000th game against St. John’s. He’s the first coach in D-1 history to reach this milestone. The man they call Coach K has on the Duke sideline since I was a child and it is crazy that he still is one of the best in the game if not thee best.
The 40 year head coach has a career record of 1000-308, that is a crazy...

Send to Kindle Credit: Duke Photography
Duke’s legendary Mike Krzyzewski picked up win number 999 Monday night, a 79-65 survival against a tough Pittsburgh squad. Once again, the bulk of Duke’s defensive game was a 2-3 zone defense.

Coach K’s letter to Michael Jordan when MJ says he isn’t coming to Duke
wralsportsfan.com
Newsflash: Michael Jordan didn’t go to Duke. He considered Duke, but he went to North Carolina. On October 29, 1980, Mike Krzyzewski wrote “Mike” Jordan a letter about Jordan’s decision to eliminate Duke as an option.
It’s fairly interesting, especially when you read it in Coach K’s voice.

Coach K’s Tactful Letter to Michael Jordan After He Turned Down Duke
Maybe Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski had a crystal ball in October of 1980 realizing that he wouldn’t have a chance at coaching the future Dream Team if he didn’t keep his tact with the best player in the country.
That player was Michael Jordan.
Jordan, who rejected the Dukies, eventually committed to Dean Smith and North Carolina in April of 1981. The concession letter below...
