Coach K Talks with Bob Knight on SiriusXM’s Basketball and Beyond
Coach K and Coach Knight, the only two coaches in NCAA history with 900 career wins, discuss their milestone, the NCAA Tournament and other topics
Next edition of Mike Krzyzewski’s weekly talk show debuts Wednesday, March 23 (7:00 pm ET/4:00 pm PT)
Sirius XM Radio announced that the next edition of Basketball and Beyond with Coach K, the weekly show hosted by Duke University and U.S. Men’s National Team coach Mike Krzyzewski, will debut Wednesday, March 23 (7:00 pm ET/4:00 pm PT) on Mad Dog Radio (Sirius channel 123 and XM channel 144) and feature a special interview with Coach K’s mentor and former coach, Bob Knight.
Krzyzewski recorded his 900th career coaching victory Sunday with the Blue Devils’ third-round win over Michigan, becoming the second coach in history to reach that mark and putting him two wins behind Knight who holds the all-time record with 902.
Coach K’s and Coach Knight’s careers have been intertwined since Krzyzewski played for Knight at the U.S. Military Academy in the late 1960s. Coach K’s first job in college basketball came when he was offered a graduate assistant position by Knight at the University of Indiana and, like Knight, Krzyzewski’s first head coaching job was at West Point.
On this week’s show, Krzyzewski and Knight discuss what reaching the 900-win milestone means to them and their players:
Coach Knight : “It isn’t how many games that you’ve won or you’ve won the most or you’re going to win the most or whatever. It’s kinda the fact that you’ve gotten to a plateau that during the time that you’ve coached nobody else has ever gotten to. And that’s a reflection, as you well know and as you’ve said, on all the people that have played for you. … It includes everybody that helped you win a game during all that time and each of those kids can remember back to some game they hit a free throw or they stole the ball, blocked a shot or made a basket or whatever.” Read more
