Coach K reaches milestone in the Greensboro Coliseum

from www.espn.com:

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski moved past longtime rival Dean Smith into second place on the men’s all-time wins list Wednesday night when the No. 1 Blue Devils routed North Carolina-Greensboro 108-62.

Krzyzewski posted his 880th career victory. Coach K trails only Bob Knight, who mentored Krzyzewski and coached him at Army on the way to 902 wins. One fan in the stands held a sign that said: “You’re next, Bobby.”

When the buzzer sounded, Krzyzewski hugged UNC Greensboro coach — and former assistant — Mike Dement before making his way across the court for a television interview. The Hall of Fame coach waved to the Duke fans who helped pack the 23,000-seat Greensboro Coliseum.

  1. A small eyewitness note: There were more fans in the old barn for the Duke Blue Devils tonight than for the Tar Heels earlier this month. Ed Hardin and I told you Greensboro is now a Duke town.

    880!

  2. …and to add insult to injury, UNC played on the weekend vs a nationally recognized program in the Univ of Texas.

  3. East Rutherford, New Jersey(Meadowlands):Duke University North

    Greensboro, N.C.(Greensboro Coliseum):Duke University South

    I used to call Coach K on his radio show till he and I went different directions…….He went north(880) and I went south(I-85)……

  4. 10-4
