Duke AD expects Mike Krzyzewski to coach until he's 74 — at least

Duke athletic director Kevin White expects Hall of Famer Mike Krzyzewski to coach the Blue Devils at least five more years, he told The Durham Herald-Sun.

Krzyzewski, 69, has coached 41 seasons, amassing an NCAA Division I record 1,043 victories against only 320 losses, and since 1980 has led Duke to five NCAA titles, 12 Final Fours, 12 ACC regular-season titles and 13 ACC Tournament championships.
