Does it ever get old having potentially the greatest coach of all-time manning the Duke bench?  Mike Krzyzewski has a 1,065–285 (.789) all-time record as head coach of the Blue Devils and has led Duke to five NCAA Championships, 12 Final Fours, 12 ACC regular-season titles, and 15 ACC Tournament championships.

He has this year’s squad ranked No. 1 in the nation, led by Vernon Carey Jr., Tre Jones, and Cassius Stanley. It’s a favorite to win the ACC Championship and go deep into the NCAA Tournament once again.

His recruiting continues to be excellent, as he currently has the No. 2 recruiting for 2020 after signing the No. 3 ranked class in 2019, and the No. 1 ranked class from 2016-18.

It’s unknown how long we’ll have the pleasure of watching Coach K man lead the Blue Devils but for the time being, we should just appreciate the moment and the march towards his eventual sixth National Championship at Duke.
