Mike Krzyzewski will unquestionably go down as one of the greatest head coaches and basketball minds of all time. His legacy is set in stone.
He announced that he’d be retiring after this year, landing him at 45 total seasons as the head coach of Duke. And what a time it was. Through his time as the Blue Devil’s head coach, he’s won five national championships across three different decades and had 12 total Final Four appearances.
Former Duke player and current assistant Jon Scheyer will take over for Krzyzewski when he finally leaves the bench at the end of the season, according to Stadium’s Jeff Goodman.
