Mike Krzyzewski show he still can lead — even as he's saying goodbye
The world’s most famous pending retiree is heading to his 13th Final Four because he still knows how to communicate with teenagers, adapt to them, and inspire them.So there he was Saturday night at Chase Center, pumping his fist and waving for Duke fans to give him more noise in the closing seconds as his, his 101st career NCAA Tournament victory.
“It’s an honor,” Krzyzewski said. “Coach Wooden, if he kept coaching would probably have 24. [The regional final] is the biggest game a college coach has to coach, because it gets you into the Promised Land. For me to have that 17 times now, that’s a big-time thing for me. I’m so proud of that. My teams have put me in that position, and we’ve won now 13 of them, and whatever happens afterward happens now. It’s a heckuva thing.
