DURHAM, N.C. (AP) – The always-busy Mike Krzyzewski has a lot on his plate – even for him.
He’s trying to lead a young Duke team to a fourth consecutive Atlantic Coast Conference title, attempting to lead the USA to back-to-back Olympic gold medals and is on the verge of becoming the winningest men’s basketball coach in Division I history.
And the record is all anyone wants to talk about – except Krzyzewski.
The longtime Duke coach is about to pass Bob Knight. Krzyzewski, who played for Knight at Army in the 1960s, says it’s “cool” that a former player and his former coach are the first to reach 900 victories. But Krzyzewski feels the mark says more about the coach than the former player.
Krzyzewski is 900-284, two victories shy of Knight.
