Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski eclipses 1,000 wins at Duke with win over Utah Valley State
For Mike Krzyzewski, 1,000 wins at Duke was hard to believe.
So much so, that he said he tried not to think about it.
The Cameron Crazies probably didn’t make it easy for him. Many of them wore “1K” painted on their faces for the game. Former players, like Shane Battier and Mike Dunleavy Jr. sat in the stands to watch it happen. Everything was there to remind him that he was one win from 1,000.
“We were 38-47 here, during my first three years,” he said Friday night. “I don’t know if you knew that. There are a lot of people here that donate money that didn’t think I’d win 1,000 games. Me being one of them too.”
