<p>Duke won its fourth National Championship with a 61-59 victory over Butler at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind. The Blue Devils returned to the site of the school’s first national title and returned home with No. 4. The four championships (1991, 1992, 2001, 2010) rank as the fifth most by any school in NCAA Division I while head coach Mike Krzyzewski tied Kentucky’s Adolph Rupp for second most among all-time coaches.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over 30 former Duke basketball players, including National Players of the Year Shane Battier, Jason Williams and Christian Laettner, will serve as team coaches this summer to headline the eighth annual K Academy June 2-6 at Duke’s historic Cameron Indoor Stadium.</p>
<p>In addition, Duke Basketball stars from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s will also coach again at America’s first and top-rated college fantasy basketball camp.</p>
<p>The current Duke National Championship coaching staff of Steve Wojciechowski, Chris Collins, Nate James and Chris Carrawell will join Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame head coach Mike Krzyzewski to host and coach in K Academy VIII – a camp for adults aged 35 and above.</p>
<p>The Academy will once again bring team-building techniques into an once-in-a-lifetime experience for the ultimate Duke or college basketball fan.  Every camper will spend five days in Cameron and in the premier practice facility in the country – the Krzyzewski Center for Academic &amp; Athletic Excellence &#8211; where they’ll go from opening day tryouts to Sunday’s championship tournament.  Along the way the campers will play games on Coach K Court in Cameron and learn the inside scoop on Duke’s four-time national championship program.</p>
<p>A lively social program, including a charity auction benefiting Durham’s Emily Krzyzewski Center, completes the experience.  All campers reside in the four-star Washington Duke Inn &amp; Golf Course on the Duke University campus.</p>
<p>The enrollment tuition for the K Academy continues to be $10,000.  The Academy is partially tax-deductible as profits go to the Duke Basketball Legacy Fund.  The camp has limited enrollment of 88 participants &#8211; 80 playing campers and eight non-playing bench captains.</p>
<p>There are less than 10 playing spots remaining, interested parties should contact the Duke Basketball Legacy Fund office as soon as possible at (919) 613-7501 or email Associate Director of the Legacy Fund, Rachel Curtis, at  <a  href="mailto:rcurtis@duaa.duke.edu">rcurtis@duaa.duke.edu</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mike Krzyzewski doesn’t have to look very far to feel old before the national title game.</p>
<p>The Duke coach and his family had an Easter egg hunt in their hotel suite Sunday, just like they did during their first Final Four 25 years ago. But this time, his six grandchildren were hunting the eggs, not his daughters.</p>
<p>The coach on the other bench for Butler, 33-year-old Brad Stevens, is much closer in age to his players than to Krzyzewski. Can the iconic Duke head coach even remember what it was like at that age?</p>
<p>“I do remember when I was 33,” Coach K replied during a press conference Sunday. “Do you?”</p>
<p>Barely, he was told.</p>
<p>“Barely,” he said. “I have photos. I don’t think they had (video) tapes then, but we have photos.”</p>
<p>Krzyzewski, at 63, doesn’t look much different than he did when he first brought Duke onto the national scene — same jet black hair (if a bit thinner), same big nose, same intense glare.</p>
<p>But few coaches in the NCAA have reinvented themselves or their programs more successfully than the man who could win his fourth NCAA title tonight at Lucas Oil Stadium.</p>
<p>It’s easy to see the continued success at Duke and see Krzyzewski as always having been at the top, but his closest followers know better. He has gone through his share of highs and lows in the business, always managing to find a way to bring Duke back to the top.</p>
<p>With a victory tonight against Butler, he will become just the third man to win a fourth national championship. John Wooden, who may never be caught, has 10. Adolph Rupp, the late Kentucky coach, has four. Krzyzewski’s mentor, Bob Knight, has three, and his longtime rival Dean Smith has two.</p>
<p>Krzyzewski will have won his four in the most competitive era of college basketball, adapting over those 25 years to the changes to the game and within his program.</p>
<p>Duke was Butler, in perception at least, when it won its first title beating UNLV in 1991. Now, the Blue Devils are the powerhouse facing the upstart in Butler.</p>
<p>Duke could build a dynasty with four-year players like Grant Hill and Christian Laettner in the early 1990s. Now, like everyone else, Coach K has had to deal with the one-and-done element of college basketball and try to build his teams while introducing new faces.</p>
<p>“College basketball has changed,” Krzyzewski said. “If you’re in this as a coach, you have to keep re-inventing yourself a little bit to stay up with the kids. It’s different cultures.</p>
<p>“I mean, Apple just introduced something (the iPad) (Sunday). Talk about instant gratification. People are in line wanting something new. It’s every aspect of our society, not just college basketball.”</p>
<p>Krzyzewski won those two titles in 1991 and 1992, then saw his program tumble when a back injury forced him to take a leave of absence in 1995. He started delegating more to his staff and built the team back to prominence quickly, winning his third national championship in 2001.</p>
<p>But then, Duke fell a step back again. Duke had gone six years between Final Four appearances — an eternity for this program — and that drought inspired Krzyzewski to make changes again.</p>
<p>He adjusted his recruiting strategy, targeting more of the NBA-level prospects that had started going elsewhere, and adopted a new approach to the strength and conditioning program.</p>
<p>“I think the thing that separates Coach K from most others is his ability to be motivated daily,” said Chris Collins, who has been an assistant on his staff for a decade now. “This guy has won almost 900 games, has been at 11 Final Fours, and he coaches every day as if he’s never won a game.”</p>
<p>If Krzyzewski wins his next game, it might be the start of another Final Four-run for the Blue Devils. Duke is bringing in a stellar recruiting class, including St. Patrick star Kyrie Irving, and could be ranked No. 1 in the country in preseason polls next autumn.</p>
<p>That perch would be nothing new to Coach K — and it’s one that, no matter how many years pass, never gets old for Duke.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Krzyzewski became a coaching legend the old-fashioned way — by staying at one school for three decades. A Duke victory Monday night over Butler would give him his fourth national title, moving him past Bob Knight and into a second-place tie with Adolph Rupp on all-time coaches&#8217; list.</p>
<p>There is no one way to establish a legacy.</p>
<p>You have win-and-run nomads like Larry Brown, who can&#8217;t sit still in a chair for 10 minutes. Yet, Brown has won titles in the NCAA and the NBA and could, in two weeks, take your ragtag local youth team and win the YMCA title.</p>
<p>You have guys like Don Nelson who have never won it all in coaching but have made enough horrible teams competitive to compile more coach-of-the-year trophies than Phil Jackson.</p>
<p>Or you can be Jackson, align yourself with four or five of the all-time greatest players and Zen your way to 10 championships.</p>
<p>There is an ideal way, though, to get a sculptor to chisel your bust: plant roots.</p>
<p>Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski — like Joe Paterno, Bobby Bowden, Dean Smith and John Wooden before him — is now a full-grown sequoia.</p>
<p>You never have to wonder, with these guys, which hat they&#8217;re wearing into the hall of fame.</p>
<p>They stayed in one place and outlasted everything — temptation, criticism, administrations, illness, envy, U.S. presidents, playing styles and rule changes.</p>
<p>Some coaches with this potential didn&#8217;t see it through.</p>
<p>John McKay left USC for the hapless temptation of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Steve Spurrier should never have left Florida.</p>
<p>Paterno might never have become Paterno had he succumbed, in the 1970s, to an offer from the Washington Redskins.</p>
<p>Krzyzewski, wrapping up his 30th season at Duke with a chance to win his fourth national title, has played it right.</p>
<p>He has faced career crossroads, but ultimately realized things could never be better than where he was at.</p>
<p>In the summer of 2004, the Lakers wanted to make him Coach K-ching, offering Krzyzewski a five-year, $40-million deal. Kobe Bryant, who would have attended Duke had he not skipped college, made a personal pitch on behalf of General Manager Mitch Kupchak.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was more than tempted,&#8221; Krzyzewski said Sunday. &#8220;I seriously considered it. One, because it was the Lakers. Mitch is great. It would have been an opportunity to work with Kobe. He and I are very close.</p>
<p>&#8220;I guess because I did not accept it, it really speaks to, you know, how much I love Duke and college basketball, but especially Duke.&#8221;</p>
<p>Krzyzewski might have won big with the Lakers, or failed, at a cost to his reputation.</p>
<p>By enduring at Duke, he was able to navigate through a college basketball sea change, the odorous era of one-and-done, and get to the precipice he has reached tonight.</p>
<p>If Duke beats Butler, Krzyzewski will have surpassed the three national titles won at Indiana by his mentor, Bob Knight.</p>
<p>Krzyzewski will have tied Kentucky&#8217;s Adolph Rupp on the all-time list, separated in history only from Wooden&#8217;s 10 titles.</p>
<p>Krzyzewski will have done it with his least talented title team, with juniors and seniors not quite good enough to have left early to the NBA.</p>
<p>A win tonight sends Coach K&#8217;s legacy straight to the time capsule.</p>
<p>Take a look at the team picture of Duke&#8217;s 2001 national champion. Look at that lineup: Shane Battier, Mike Dunleavy, Chris Duhon, Carlos Boozer, Jason Williams.</p>
<p>Duke&#8217;s title teams of 1991 and &#8217;92 had Christian Laettner, Bobby Hurley, Grant Hill and Thomas Hill.</p>
<p>This year&#8217;s Duke team might not beat those teams if they got spotted 10 points per half.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have a group now, there isn&#8217;t a Jason Williams here, they are not Laettner or Grant Hill,&#8221; Krzyzewski said.</p>
<p>The way to win big now is to rent one-year players (think Kentucky) or take slightly less talent and mold it into juniors and seniors.</p>
<p>Duke is in the title game with Kyle Singler, Nolan Smith, Jon Scheyer and Brian Zoubek. These are nice players, but maybe not future NBA All-Stars.</p>
<p>In some ways, though, that makes tonight extra special. Krzyzewski has been prickly all year in defense of a team labeled by some as substandard — by Duke&#8217;s standards.</p>
<p>Duke, though, has played marvelously in this tournament and the Blue Devils&#8217; 21-point destruction of West Virginia on Saturday may have been the most close-to-perfect game Duke has played in years.</p>
<p>This has only enhanced Krzyzewski&#8217;s stature and advanced the mutual-love-affair narrative.</p>
<p>&#8220;Duke has been committed to me when I wasn&#8217;t with Knight and Rupp and those guys,&#8221; Krzyzewski said. &#8220;They were committed to me when we were 38-47.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the legacy time line, those early years were the Dark Ages.</p>
<p>Duke was there in January 1995, when Krzyzewski took a leave of absence to deal with a back injury and the team went 13-18 that season.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was even thinking of not coaching,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So that&#8217;s another time where Duke was really committed to me and helped me.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hang around one place long enough and you become the face. Krzyzewski is the face of Duke, the one defiled in a newspaper illustration last week.</p>
<p>Being the face means taking the barbs personally — because you are as invested in the school as it is in you.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s really easy to talk about not liking us because we&#8217;re a private school,&#8221; Krzyzewski said, &#8220;We&#8217;re not a state. We don&#8217;t have a state press. You know, people wouldn&#8217;t take the shots at us that they do if we were a state school because the people of that state wouldn&#8217;t like it . . . that&#8217;s just the way it is, and I&#8217;m OK with it. I think it helps us keep our edge.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With every year that passed with a Duke-free Final Four, the skeptics became louder: Had Mike Krzyzewski somehow lost his touch?</p>
<p>Maybe not.</p>
<p>Perhaps the 63-year-old Hall of Famer was merely waiting for his current crop of maturing players to figure out how to storm through a bracket. It might have taken longer than it ever did during his three-decade reign in Durham, but Coach K is back at the Final Four.</p>
<p>And at least one of his former stars never questioned whether he&#8217;d return to college basketball&#8217;s biggest stage.</p>
<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t have any doubts. One thing people need to know about Coach K, is if they have doubts, they are mistaken,&#8221; said Utah Jazz forward Carlos Boozer, who led Duke to its most recent national title in 2001.</p>
<p>&#8220;That guys figures out ways to be successful,&#8221; he added. &#8220;That&#8217;s why he&#8217;s been successful for 25 years. He&#8217;s got three championships, working on a fourth championship maybe this year in Indiana. He takes critics on, and he figures out ways to be successful. We don&#8217;t have the most talented team in the country, but guess where we are?&#8221;</p>
<p>They&#8217;re in familiar territory for their coach, even if none of the current players have advanced this deep into the bracket before.</p>
<p>The Blue Devils (33-5), who play West Virginia (31-6) on Saturday night in the national semifinals, are in the Final Four for the 11th time under Krzyzewski but first time since 2004, when these players were in high school — or younger.</p>
<p>And for those doubters who wondered whether Krzyzewski had grown out of touch with younger generations of players, whether his time coaching the U.S. Olympic team had taken too heavy a toll back home in Durham, or whether he simply became a victim of his own success — well, Coach K just doesn&#8217;t seem to care too much about them.</p>
<p>&#8220;Anyone who&#8217;s successful over a period of time is going to have detractors, not just for a few years, but throughout your career,&#8221; Krzyzewski said. &#8220;That&#8217;s just part of the game. Everybody has that, and not to take that personally. No one is going to get everybody supportive of them. So I think you just go about your business. This isn&#8217;t about my vindication or anything like that. It&#8217;s about coaching this group of kids who deserve your full commitment.&#8221;</p>
<p>What impresses his next adversary is how Krzyzewski, a noted protégé of Bob Knight, has been able to carve out his own path, whether he&#8217;s leading the Americans to the gold medal or chasing a fourth national championship with the Blue Devils.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think there&#8217;s no question that (Knight) had a tremendous influence on Mike,&#8221; West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said. &#8220;Mike&#8217;s done a great job through the years of playing to his guys&#8217; strengths and letting them play to their strengths. I think that&#8217;s to be commended. I think Mike is very much his own man.&#8221;</p>
<p>Krzyzewski, who is seven wins shy of 800 at Duke, has long maintained that his second job with the Olympians has only made him a better college coach because working with NBA players gave him a broader perspective on the game.</p>
<p>&#8220;Some people would say that&#8217;s hurt your program — that&#8217;s just so crazy dumb to think that,&#8221; Krzyzewski said. &#8220;It was one of the worst trains of thought of how you analyze me, that (coaching Olympians is) going to hurt me and my program, because it&#8217;s done nothing but help, and help, I think, a lot. I know I&#8217;m a better person.”</p>
<p>In a break from the school&#8217;s recent past, he reportedly accepted a verbal commitment from the first junior-college transfer in Duke history, forward Carrick Felix of the College of Southern Idaho.</p>
<p>While NCAA rules prohibit him from discussing recruits before a letter of intent has been signed, Krzyzewski said he would entertain the idea of signing a JUCO player only if he could play three seasons &#8220;because it would be impossible to graduate from Duke.&#8221;</p>
<p>Said former player Elton Brand, one of the first to leave Duke early for the pros: &#8220;Coach really wants guys to be there for longevity. He wants guys to graduate and become great men, regardless of basketball. That&#8217;s what he&#8217;s about. He&#8217;s about family, and he&#8217;s about seeing his student athletes grow into great individuals.&#8221;</p>
<p>Krzyzewski also sounds determined to make Final Fours an every year thing again at Duke — and maybe even chase a coincidental bit of symmetry. Nine years passed between Krzyzewski&#8217;s second title in 1992 and the &#8217;01 crown. Nine years later, and Duke&#8217;s back in the Final Four again, still dealing with those heightened expectations that were raised during the days of Christian Laettner and Grant Hill.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m really very excited for my team. I really love these guys,&#8221; Krzyzewski said. &#8220;They have suffered from comparisons, which shouldn&#8217;t happen. It just absolutely shouldn&#8217;t happen, to what&#8217;s happened before. It&#8217;s a different landscape. It&#8217;s different. They haven&#8217;t been given credit along their careers for what they&#8217;re doing and what they&#8217;re trying to accomplish. I&#8217;m really pleased for them.&#8221; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During the plane ride back from Houston on Sunday night, after all the celebrating had been done, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski took a satisfying look back.</p>
<p>Coaches often watch film on the team charter to review what went right or wrong during the game. At the end of this viewing session, there was a bonus.</p>
<p>On the replay, Krzyzewski saw Duke director of basketball operations Chris Spatola&#8217;s arms go up and a look of sheer joy on his face. Moments like that are what make this 11th Final Four trip special to a coach who&#8217;s already won three NCAA titles and an Olympic gold medal.</p>
<p>Krzyzewski and Duke are back in the Final Four after a six-year absence during which doubters questioned his recruiting and the effect of his Olympic commitment on the Blue Devils while rival North Carolina went to three Final Fours and won two NCAA titles. But because it&#8217;s has been a while, and Krzyzewski especially enjoys this team, this trip to the Final Four is different than the earlier ones.</p>
<p>Krzyzewski will have a chance to add to his NCAA-record total of tournament wins when Duke (33-5) tips off against West Virginia (31-6) at about 8:30 p.m. on Saturday in the national semifinals in Indianapolis. Krzyzewski also has tied former North Carolina coach Dean Smith for the second-most Final Four appearances ever, one behind the record of 12 set by UCLA&#8217;s John Wooden.</p>
<p>Despite Duke&#8217;s championship history, though, Krzyzewski has been reminding everyone throughout March that this particular group is as new to the chase for a Final Four as a team like Baylor. Spatola, for example, played at Army like Krzyzewski and served in Iraq but has never participated in a Final Four. That&#8217;s why Spatola&#8217;s reaction Sunday touched Krzyzewski.</p>
<p>He has grown to admire, appreciate, even love this team. He is thrilled that this group will experience the special event that he has enjoyed so many times in his career.</p>
<p>&#8220;This one is really good,&#8221; he said after Duke defeated Baylor, 78-71, in the South Regional final.</p>
<p>&#8220;I mean, I want to just enjoy it with these guys. I never had a group exactly like this one. Again, we&#8217;re not a great team, but we are really a good team. But we have great character. To be around that character on a day-to-day basis is so fulfilling for me. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m very, very happy for them.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For Bob Huggins, it has been an 18-year wait to return to the Final Four — nearly two decades filled with job changes, health problems and trouble with both the NCAA and the law.</p>
<p>Only six years — mostly drama free — have passed between trips for Mike Krzyzewski. Yet in many ways, his time away from the top of college basketball has felt longer.</p>
<p>Such is life when you&#8217;re the coach at Duke and your program goes that long without making a Final Four.</p>
<p>&#8220;People expect us to always be at this stage,&#8221; Blue Devils forward Lance Thomas said.</p>
<p>Duke&#8217;s opponent in Saturday&#8217;s national semifinal is West Virginia (31-6), which is returning to the Final Four for the first time since 1959. It&#8217;s Huggins&#8217; first trip since 1992, back at the peak of his long, tumultuous stay at Cincinnati.</p>
<p>That kind of drought might gnaw at some coaches. But the 56-year-old Huggins insists he hasn&#8217;t spent much time — any time, really — during that span wondering if he would make it back or worrying about his shortcomings.</p>
<p>&#8220;Not really,&#8221; he said, when asked if there&#8217;s anything specific that eats at him. &#8220;I can&#8217;t say I worry about our guys, because our guys are really good guys. I want them to be successful and do well. But I&#8217;ve never lived my life worrying.&#8221;</p>
<p>If he did, there&#8217;d be plenty of material to choose from.</p>
<p>An abridged look at the list includes the 0.0-percent graduation rate at Cincinnati for several seasons and the heart attack in 2002. He ran what was widely viewed a rogue program, cited by the NCAA for the dreaded &#8220;lack of institutional control&#8221; in 1998. But &#8220;Huggy Bear&#8221; didn&#8217;t get chased from the Cincy sideline until he started fighting with the school president after his 2004 DUI arrest was caught on video.</p>
<p>Though beloved at West Virginia, Huggins remains a divisive figure in Cincinnati, where memories of his bad temper, along with the other baggage, are still vivid. The fact that the Bearcats haven&#8217;t enjoyed near the success since his departure plays into the mix.</p>
<p>&#8220;I had countless opportunities to leave and didn&#8217;t want to because I didn&#8217;t want to leave the city, the people, and more specifically, I didn&#8217;t want to lose my players,&#8221; said Huggins, who was forced out after 16 years.</p>
<p>After the tough ending in Cincinnati, his faith in school administration was restored during a single season at Kansas State. Despite the positive experience, he bolted when his alma mater came calling.</p>
<p>West Virginia sports are more than simple games in that state, and not surprisingly, any program with a half-century drought will be patient with a hometown boy who returns. Huggins rewarded the faithful quickly, and has done it with little of the trouble that followed him earlier in his career.</p>
<p>Only three years into the job, he found a group of players, led by Da&#8217;Sean Butler, who buy into his mantra: &#8220;Do What We Do,&#8221; and don&#8217;t try to do too much.</p>
<p>&#8220;He came in and said, &#8216;I&#8217;m going to turn you into my guys,&#8217;&#8221; Butler said. &#8220;He said, &#8216;You&#8217;re going to be guys who play hard, defend, rebound, things like that.&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p>They are. As are Krzyzewski&#8217;s players at Duke (33-5).</p>
<p>Since 2004, when the Blue Devils lost to Connecticut in the national semifinals, Krzyzewski has kept the talent coming in and won four ACC tournament and two regular-season titles. But during that span, Duke hadn&#8217;t advanced past the NCAA regional semifinals until this year.</p>
<p>That, combined with the two national championships North Carolina has won in the same span, has certainly made it easier to criticize a program that already has its share of haters.</p>
<p>Naturally, job security is of no concern to Coach K, in his 30th year at Duke. He insists he&#8217;s listened to very little of the critiquing outside of what the people in his own circles tell him. He says the only time he, or anyone, should feel pressure is when they&#8217;re in over their head.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think pressure is when you&#8217;re asked to do something you&#8217;re not capable of doing,&#8221; Krzyzewski said. &#8220;So you should train and be in a position where you&#8217;re capable of doing what people ask of you. And if you&#8217;re continually feeling pressure, you should probably try to do something you can do.&#8221;</p>
<p>Duke has done it this year with a very un-Duke-like combination — one that includes lots of height, starting with 7-foot-1 Brian Zoubek, plenty of rebounding and defense and nary a superstar.</p>
<p>The program that gave us Grant Hill, Shane Battier, Christian Laettner, Jason Williams and dozens more NBA players has produced a 2010 team with pro talent, but no lottery picks — a team with players who can score and defend but nobody who dominates nightly.</p>
<p>The man who turned it into Final Four material: Krzyzewski, who insists he never let the criticism get to him.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think everyone feels pressure, but not the pressure from the outside,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s the pressure from within, to do as well as you think you can do.&#8221;</p>
<p>Both coaches have helped their teams come close to, or reach, their potential this season. Now, they will meet in a matchup featuring two coaches who have ended droughts — long by Coach K&#8217;s standards, nothing to worry about the way Huggins sees it.</p>
<p>&#8220;They say it balances out,&#8221; Huggins said. &#8220;If it balances out, we should be in great shape — if the people who say that know what they&#8217;re talking about.&#8221; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now that Duke has worked its way back to a Final Four for the first time since 2004, don&#8217;t be surprised to see the Blue Devils make a habit of it again.</p>
<p>Going back to 1986, Mike Krzyzewski&#8217;s pattern has been one of repetition. His teams got to five straight Final Fours starting in 1988 and then again in 1994, 1999 and 2001.</p>
<p>At 63, Krzyzewski is still relatively young as college coaching careers go these days, and there&#8217;s no doubt he&#8217;s still as committed to winning as was the case in the 1980s and 1990s.</p>
<p>Kryzyzewski addressed that topic at length during last weekend&#8217;s South Regional games in Houston.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am every bit as passionate about my team today as I was in &#8217;86,&#8221; he said. &#8220;There is no question. You can ask anybody. There is no question about it. I love what I do. I love my guys and they deserve that, just like my &#8217;86 team did.</p>
<p>&#8220;Whenever it is that I stop coaching, it will be because I can&#8217;t go at that level. It won&#8217;t be because I can&#8217;t coach. It will be because I couldn&#8217;t give my team that. But right now, I can do that and willingly do that. I guess there will be some time where you won&#8217;t have that, which will be sad. But I&#8217;m going to go for it as long as I have it.&#8221;</p>
<p>The key is getting the right personnel. In Krzyzewski&#8217;s case, the correct personnel blend doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean signing the most talented recruits each season. The talent level has to be high, of course. But it&#8217;s more about work ethic, chemistry and leadership, which the current team has in excess.</p>
<p>Next season, the Devils will be without Lance Thomas, Jon Scheyer and Brian Zoubek for sure, and there&#8217;s a chance junior Kyle Singler will leave for the NBA.</p>
<p>The remaining primary parts &#8211; Nolan Smith, Andre Dawkins, Miles and Mason Plumlee &#8211; may not add up to an intimidating lineup, but help is on the way.</p>
<p>Transfer Seth Curry, although lean at 6 feet 1 and 175 pounds, almost certainly will absorb some of the 3-point shooting drain. Incoming recruit Kyrie Irving is rated one of the fastest guards in the country and a reliable shooter.</p>
<p>With or without Singler, the Blue Devils are going to be a lot quicker team and one with many interchangeable parts. The obvious question mark will be frontcourt depth, but some improvement by 6-10 Ryan Kelly could go far in solving that problem.</p>
<p>A trademark of Krzyzewski&#8217;s career always has been breakthrough events. The first big one came in 1984, when he beat North Carolina with Michael Jordan in the ACC tournament.</p>
<p>Next came the &#8217;86 East Regional and the wins over DePaul and Navy to qualify for his first Final Four.</p>
<p>The biggest hurdle was cleared in &#8217;99, four seasons after Krzyzewski&#8217;s health problems so sidetracked the momentum that the dynasty was in trouble. Two seasons later, he had his third national title.</p>
<p>What happened in Houston had the feel and look of another turning point. On paper, Baylor probably had more basketball talent, meaning Duke had to get to a Final Four largely on intensity, intangibles and coaching.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s precisely the sort of accomplishment that has reinvigorated the program for 30 years. Duke&#8217;s back, and Krzyzewski&#8217;s teams rarely retreat. In short, there&#8217;s no reason at all to believe this will be his final Final Four.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Legendary college basketball coaches Bob Knight and John Thompson Jr. will sit down for in-depth one-on-one interviews with Duke Men’s Basketball Coach Mike Krzyzewski on the next edition of Krzyzewski’s SIRIUS XM Radio show Basketball and Beyond with Coach K.  The weekly program airs tomorrow, March 24 (8:00 pm ET), on Mad Dog Radio, SIRIUS channel 123 and XM channel 144. </p>
<p>The three Hall of Fame coaches, who together have seven National Championships, 2362 NCAA Division I victories and more than 100 years of head coaching experience, will discuss this year’s tournament and the past, present and future of college basketball.</p>
<p>In a head coaching career that spanned five decades, Bob Knight won 902 NCAA Division I men’s college basketball games, more than any other Division I head coach.  From 1971 to 2000, he coached the Indiana Hoosiers to three National Championships, five Final Fours and 11 Big Ten Conference Championships.</p>
<p>Coach K, whose #1 seeded Duke Blue Devils are set to face Purdue in the South Regional Semifinals on Friday in Houston, has won 864 NCAA Division I games over 35 years as a head coach.  He has led the Blue Devils to three NCAA Championships, 10 Final Fours and 12 ACC Tournament championships.</p>
<p>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.  Both men coached the USA Men’s Basketball Team to gold medal victories, Knight in the 1984 Games in Los Angeles and Krzyzewski at the 2008 Games in Beijing, and both have been enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, Knight in 1991 and Krzyzewski in 2001.</p>
<p>John Thompson Jr. won 596 games over 27 seasons as the head coach of the Georgetown Hoyas, who he led to the 1984 National Title, three Finals Fours and six Big East Tournament Championships.  He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1999.</p>
<p>&#8220;Basketball and Beyond with Coach K&#8221; is available to listeners nationwide Wednesday nights at 8:00 pm ET exclusively on Mad Dog Radio, SIRIUS channel 123 and XM channel 144.</p>
<p>Each week, the show features discussions on a wide array of topical issues, covering the state of college basketball and showcasing Krzyzewski&#8217;s personal perspective on principles for life on and off the court, plus interviews with a variety of special guests, including business leaders, entertainers, coaches and athletes.</p>
