Mike Krzyzewski

By John Fredric Evans

Treat your readers to a fascinating biography. From his humble roots as the Chicago-born son of Polish immigrant parents, Mike Krzyzewski, known as Coach K, has become one of the most decorated coaches of all-time in both the college and professional ranks. Coach K's highly disciplined approach to the game, honed from his early years as a college point guard at Army under notorious taskmaster Bobby Knight, has propelled him to become a two-time inductee of Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Not only has Coach K won five NCAA Division I men's basketball championships as the head man of the Duke University Blue Devils, he's also achieved unprecedented success on the international stage by winning three gold medals as the head coach of the United States men's national basketball team. Beloved and revered by the press, the public and his players, Coach K has spurned numerous overtures by NBA teams over the years, and remains committed to Duke in order to build on his golden legacy of greatness.
