Coach Krzyzewski Is Duke Blue Devil Basketball Did You know Their Is a New Iphone App

For as long as I can remember, I have been involved in sports. i started out real young playing little league baseball and pop warner football, both of which I loved. But my real passion didn't come until I stepped on the basketball court for the first time when I was in 4th grade. From the minute i took my first jump shot I knew that basketball was my real passion. Once I started playing basketball, I really got involved in watching basketball on TV. The first college game that I watched on TV was a Duke vs North Carolina game. I never watched one of these games before so I didn't know who to root for, but being that I grew up in Jersey I decided to root for Duke because Bobby Hurley was the point guard and he was from Jersey a well. Needless to say , I have been a die hard Duke fan ever since that day. Everything about Duke basketball is first class and that is without question due to Coach K. I went on to play basketball through high school and made the all county team twice but unfortunately I was too short and too chubby to further my basketball career past high school. However, that doesn't mean I separated myself from the game. I am now 30 years old and still a die hard basketball fan and still a die hard Duke fan. My goal in life one day is to become a college basketball coach and maybe one day be as successful as Coach K. Coach K's words and actions inspire me to become the best that I can be in whatever path I choose to take and if that path happens to be basketball, I will have Coach K to thank because watching Coach K is an honor and he his truly my hero.

Coach K Quote

"During the season, your team should be led with exuberance and excitement. You should live the journey. You should live it right. You should live it together. You should live it shared. You should try to make one another better. You should get on one another if somebody's not doing their part. You should hug one another when they are. You should be disappointed in a loss and exhilarated in a win. It's all about the journey."

--Coach Mike Krzyzewski--

Coach K owns a 803-267 (.750) career record, including a 730-208 (.778) mark at Duke. On November 17, 2000, Krzyzewski earned his 500th win at Duke with a 98-85 triumph over Villanova. He reached this milestone in just 660 contests, the fifth-fewest games in NCAA history by any coach to earn 500 wins at one institution. That night, the fabled floor of Cameron Indoor Stadium was dedicated as Coach K Court. On December 12, 2004, Coach K became one of just 19 coaches in Division I history to reach 700 wins, and he concluded his 31st year of coaching with more wins than any coach has ever had over his first 31 years.

    A few years back my 80 something dad and I went to the local independent book store to get the lastest book signed. We waited over an hour and there was a huge out of the store line behind us. When we got there, Dad commented that Duke was his local team, but he had been an Iowa Hawkeye fan since he was a kid. K took the time to tell my Dad the things he admired about the Iowa program, a good 5 minutes.

    What a mench!
