Mike Krzyzewski
What does it take to really bring a business to the next level of growth and opportunity? It takes incredible teamwork, and that means incredible coaching. Known as one of the greatest college basketball coaches of all time, former Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski led the Blue Devils to 5 national titles, 13 Final Fours and 15 ACC tournament championships over his 42-year career. Learn how he and other renowned coaches of our time bring people together in pursuit of excellence.
It does not take long for a conversation about the highest levels of success in the basketball world to turn to the name Krzyzewski. In 42 seasons at Duke, Mike Krzyzewski – a Naismith Hall of Fame coach, five-time national champion and NCAA record 13-time Final Four participant – built a dynasty that few programs in the history of the game can match. No coach in Division I men’s basketball history won more games than Coach K’s 1,202. Head coach at both Duke and Army West Point, Krzyzewski finished his career with a 1,202-368 record, including a 1,129-309 mark at Duke.
