There are a lot of things that make Mike Krzyzewski a great coach but at the top of the list, arguably, are communication skills, an intense competitive desire and a willingness to learn and adapt.
Take the one-and-done era.
Krzyzewski adapted to the changes and has kept Duke at the top of the game. Since 2011, Kyrie Irving’s stop in Durham, Duke has racked up these season records:
- 32-5
- 27-7
- 30-6
- 26-9
- 35-4
- 25-11
- 28-9
- 29-8
- 32-6
- 25-6
A couple of notes.
