DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Duke men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski feels the time is right to step away from a Hall of Fame career.
The winningest coach in the history of Division I men’s college basketball announced Wednesday that next season will be his last with the Blue Devils program he has built into one of college basketball’s bluebloods.
The 74-year-old Krzyzewski said during a Thursday news conference that he has no health concerns and wasn’t leaving in reaction to the difficulties of playing last year amid the COVID-19 pandemic or the changing landscape of college basketball.
Krzyzewski has led the Blue Devils to five NCAA championships and has won 1,170 games for Army and Duke.
