Per Duke Comms:
In a ceremony Wednesday night in Chicago, five of the most impactful figures in college basketball history, including Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski and Johnny Dawkins, were inducted to the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame.
Dawkins joined Tyler Hansbrough of North Carolina, longtime Jefferson coach Herb Magee, and the late talent scout Tom Konchalski as members of the Class of 2023. Coach K was among the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame’s Founding Class in 2006, but officially honored Wednesday following his retirement from coaching in 2022.
With the inclusion of Dawkins and Coach K, the Blue Devils now have 10 former players, head coaches or assistant coaches in the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame.
