Duke's beloved basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski has set the NCAA record for most wins by a coach with 903 wins, surpassing the previous record of 902, held by former Indiana and Texas Tech coach Bob Knight. This win came at Madison Square Garden Champions Classic event, where Duke was able to defeat Michigan State 74-69. Coach K had played and coached for Bob Knight at his alma mater, Army. Coach K and Bob Knight both shared a hug with each other once the game had ended, showing the bond they still have. Duke and Michigan State were pretty even with each other until the second half, where Duke took control of the game.
Coach K has been regarded as one of the best college basketball coaches in the history of the sport. His Duke squads have won four national championships. Two were back to back in 1991 and 1992, and the others in 2001 and recently in 2010. Besides being the head coach at Duke, Coach K is also the head coach of the USA men's basketball team and has won the gold in the Olympics in 2008, as well as the gold in the FIBA World Championship in 2010, giving the USA their 4th FIBA title. In a time where college coaches seem to be corrupt, it's good to see coaches having high points, instead of low ones.
