Coach Krzyzewski holds one of the most sacred college basketball records, with the most victories (957). With his 903rd win, Krzyzewski passed his mentor and idol, Bobby Knight. From his early days at Army to his glory days at Duke, Coach K is the winningest coach in college basketball history.
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski directs his team against Presbyterian during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game in Durham, N.C., Saturday, Nov. 12, 2011. Duke won 96-55. Krzyzewski tied Bob Knight atop the Division I men’s career wins list with 902 victories.
Krzyzewski has also coached the United States national team, which he has led to three gold medals at 2008, 2012, and 2016 Olympics. He was the head coach of the U.S. team that won gold medals at the 2010 and the 2014 FIBA World Cup, and an assistant coach for the “Dream Team” at the 1992 Olympics.
