Krzyzewski, who treats attention toward himself like a curse, only wanted and only needed one chance to pass his old coach Bob Knight for the 903rd win of his career.
When it was all over, Mike Krzyzewski pushed through the crowd of photographers surrounding him to find Bob Knight, his former coach and the man whose record he had just broken.
It seems fitting that Mike Krzyzewski’s first shot at his 903rd career head coaching victory will come in the first game of a doubleheader, a throwback to earlier days of college basketball.
The mood in Duke’s locker room following a 77-76 victory over Belmont could be characterized by one word—relief.
Bob Knight had a special message for Mike Krzyzewski when the two spoke during a prerecording of Duke head coach’s radio show earlier in the season.
With just over eight minutes remaining in Saturday’s win over Presbyterian, Coach K Court shook after a Miles Plumlee dunk put Duke ahead by 40 points.
In their first game of the year, the Blue Devils overcame 2,000 miles of travel and a staunch Brigham Young defense to pass a difficult season-opening test.
Head coach Joanne P. McCallie has won all four of her season openers with the Blue Devils, and will look to keep her opening-game win streak alive against Brigham Young Friday night.
