MP2 #7) Coach K Atop Division I List

Coach K became the all-time leader in wins in men's college basketball  on Tuesday as Duke beat Michigan State at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday. He passed Bob Knight and how was 903 wins. This was cool for Krzyzewski because Bob Knight was his basketball coach at Army. Andre Dawkins had a team high 26 points as the Blue Devils were able to pull away in the second half.  It was very emotional after the game, with the current leader and the former leader both in tears. Coach K has been coaching for over 30 years at Duke and it is finally nice to see that all of his accomplishments have been recognized. He truly is the best coach in college basketball.


Being a Duke fan, I was ecstatic that Coach K was able to break the record. I have been a die-heart fan for about 10 years and can tell anyone first hand how good of a coach he really is. Even if the talent isn't always the best in the nation or they have a glaring weakness, they make up for it in heart, hustle, and teamwork because that's just how Duke basketball is played. Also, this was one of the best nights of my life because I was able to witness this is person at the Garden.  Out of the 903 wins, I was able to go to the won where he broke the record and that is simply amazing. No matter what else happens in Coach K's career, nobody will forget what he did because I certainly won't.
