In case you have been under a rock over the last 24 hours, Duke’s Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski officially announced yesterday that he will be retiring after the conclusion of the 2021-22 season. This announcement isn’t a complete surprise, as people started to speculate that his time at Duke was coming to an end after Roy Williams announced his retirement.
While I myself as well as the Tar Heel fan base universally hate Coach K, it is impossible to overlook what he was able to accomplish during his stay in Durham. As of right now Krzyzewski has won five national titles, made it to the Final Four 12 times, won the ACC Tournament 15 times, and the regular season 12 times.
