Coach K

I was hoping to get out of doing this but one of my readers pointed out that I should do a Weekly Salute to Coach Mike Krzyzewski. So here it goes...

I'll give "the (Blue) devil his due" for having the most wins in college basketball. It's a big honor for him and I know he's worked hard to reach this milestone. It's amazing to think that he actually didn't start off too well at Duke, going 62-65 and not even making it past the second round of the NCAA Tourney in his first five seasons.

After those "rebuilding years" Krzyzewski's Duke teams made a move toward the upper echelon of college basketball. Under Coach K, Duke has won twenty-five ACC titles, gone to eleven Final Fours, and won four NCAA titles; among other accolades. Even though I'm a UNC fan (and even though it took the other coaches to retire before he got this honor) congrats to Coach K on getting 904+ wins and congrats on getting my Weekly Salute.
