Congratulations to Coach K on his 1000 wins

Coach-K-1000

Congratulations are in order for Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski. Coach K earned his 1,000th career win, making him the first NCAA Division I men’s coach to reach the milestone.

The victory came on Sunday at Madison Square Garden.  No. 5 Duke had a come-from-behind win against St. John’s. Knicks President Phil Jackson, and All-Star Carmelo Anthony were on hand for the historic game.

The 67-year-old Krzyzewski improved to 1,000-308 in a 40-year coaching career that began in 1975 at his alma mater, Army. He is 927-249 in 35 seasons at Duke, guiding the Blue Devils to four NCAA titles and 11 trips to the Final Four.
