Daily News | Coach K, the king of March Madness, is leaving, and Jay Wright is poised to succeed him | Mike Sielski
will mark the departure of the sport’s most recognizable name and most powerful, popular coach. Particularly if Krzyzewski manages to finish his career with a run that pushes him past 1,200 career victories and to his sixth national championship, there will be a void atop college basketball, and the coach who now comes closest to filling it is. John Calipari, Rick Pitino, Bill Self: Wright has as many or more NCAA titles than any of them.
“The biggest thing where they’re very similar is it’s not about Jay Wright. It’s not about Coach K. They get a lot of accolades, but it’s about Villanova basketball and Duke basketball. That’s what they preach.” The Blue Devils had gone a combined 21-34 over their previous two seasons under Krzyzewski when he began recruiting King. “It was all Coach K,” he said. “His belief in me gave me belief in him.” By King’s sophomore year, Krzyzewski’s sixth season there, Duke was the No.
You could feel fairly secure that your head coach, for all his success and all the scuttlebutt around his future, would be your head coach throughout your college career. Krzyzewski turned down offers from the Celtics, the Lakers, and several other NBA teams, choosing instead to maintain his kingdom in Durham, and Wright has reached the stage of his career when such overtures seem pretty pointless to him, too.
