One of the standout coaches in NCAA basketball history, Mike Krzyzewski has guided the Blue Devils of Duke University to the highest reaches of the basketball world. Head coach at Duke since 1980, Coach K's teams have won four national championships and reached the Final Four eleven times. Playing in the nation's toughest conference, the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), he has produced twelve regular season championships and thirteen ACC tournament championships. He has been named ACC Coach of the Year four times and the National Coach of the Year in five different seasons. With 927 wins (and counting), Coach K is the winningest coach in NCAA Division I men's basketball history. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2001.

Coach K's players have earned National Player of the Year honors nine times, claimed National Defensive Player of the Year honors nine times, and been named All-American 35 times. Forty of his players have been NBA Draft selections (through 2009 NBA Draft), including 21 first round picks and 15 NBA Lottery picks.

Mike Krzyzewski is also head coach of the United States men's national basketball team whom he led to a gold medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics and the 2010 FIBA World Championship. He was an assistant coach on the 1992 Dream Team.

When away from coaching, Krzyzewski enjoys playing tennis and racquetball and watching basketball games, and spending time with his family.
