It is weird to look over at the bench during a Duke Blue Devils game and not see legendary head coach Mike Krzyzewski running the show.
Following the 2021-22 season, the coach with over 1,200 wins decided to call it a career as a basketball coach. However, he isn’t actually retired. The former Army guard and head coach keeps busy with speaking events and his podcast. Krzyzewski says that he doesn’t miss coaching at all.
“It’s been good. I don’t miss coaching. I coached for almost five decades,” Krzyzewski stated. “I knew I did not want to coach anymore, but I didn’t want to retire. I do a lot of speaking. I’m on the road at least once, sometimes twice a week, to different locations, and I’ve learned a lot doing that.”
During his time at Duke, Coach K won 1,202 games, including 101 in the NCAA Tournament. He brought five national championships to Cameron Indoor Stadium, 13 Final Four finishes, and 15 ACC Tournament titles.
Krzyzewski still watches the Duke games and speaks to Jon Scheyer. One thing is for sure, it seems like the former Duke head coach is certainly enjoying his new life after coaching.
