Mike Krzyzewski

We usually wait awhile to write our histories until they fully unfold. It's too hard to tell in real time where the chapter breaks are. But sometimes you just know when to dog-ear a page for future reference. The night lives up to the narrative. All the details matter for posterity. The mid-January game when LeBron James and Kobe Bryant went head-to-head as if they were in their own personal All-Star Game was one of those times. The best player of this era and the best player of the one before…

1.2% of college basketball players move on to the NBA. 1.6% of college football players go to the NFL. What happens to the other 98.8% or 98.4%? They go to find normal jobs to support themselves. Their whole college life was dedicated to getting to the next level. Now they have nothing to show for it. Some of them were relying on their athleticism to get paid. What if they needed that money for their families? College football and basketball players should be repaid for their efforts in some way…

On October 22, 2006 kyrie committed to Duke University in a television broadcast on ESPNU. Kyrie played for duke during the 2010-2011 basketball season. Under the guidance of head coach Mike Krzyzewski. Through the first eight he averaged 17.4 points per game with 53.2 % for shooting, 5.1 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals. He was quickly making his way for NCAA freshman of the year. A turndown came for that though when kyrie suffered a severe…

Looking further at the correlation of Christianity and my future business career, my time at Hometown Health gave me an example of how it can be done. Josh is in the business of comforting people recover from injuries and relieving pain. Moreover, he is also in business as a servant of God, and he runs HH with values and dedication that reflects his faith. He has inspired me in with his ability to implement his Christian life into his business/work life. He is an attentive and dedicated worker…

The relocation would clearly impact the ACC, which created the legislation. The NBA has changed its All-Star Game by moving it away from Charlotte in the past week out of hostile response to the heated law House Bill 2, but the ACC commissioner named John Swofford mentioned at his conventions there is no speedy proposal to shadowing the suit with the league’s football championship game. There was some long discussion regarding this matter in May at their spring meetings, and in that period they…

article “Coach Knight: The Will to Win”, I believe firing Bob Knight was the right decision although Bob Knight led the Indiana Hoosiers to 3 national championships and number of Knight’s former players have gone on to coach in college (such as Mike Krzyzewski of Duke University) and in the NBA. Coach Knight’s leadership style was intimidating and abusive which instilled fear and discomfort among many of his students and other people around him. This created a negative atmosphere and affected…

Kansas has 13 straight. UCLA also had a streak of 13 straight but it was achieved by 3 different coaches, Kansas was achieved by one coach, Bill Self. John Wooden, arguably the greatest winner in sports history, never won more than 9 in a row. Mike Krzyzewski, also known as Coach K, who some say is the greatest coach in any sport ever, has never won more than 5 straight. KU has 3 national titles, 2 helm championships, and 14 final four appearances. They have also been to 46 NCAA tournaments.…

One of the largest on going issues dealing with the injustice that is the current NCAA rule system is the limited spreading of wealth/profit within the institutions. This can be seen in the tremendous profits schools make yearly due to their athletic programs. Where the problem/injustice comes into play here is in how the colleges/institutions are able to get away with not spreading their wealth/profits to those have earned compensation. I believe this is a direct result to the rule system in…

Imagine standing up in front of 50000 people coaching the #1 team in the SEC. When I was growing up I imagined being a college coach. I choose this career because I had a lot of people help me when I was growing up, so now it’s my turn to help others, when they become young adults. Everyday as a child I always heard that you have to give back, so that’s what i am doing while I coach. Coaching have many responsibilities. When becoming a coach you just don’t deal with their players, they have to…

I believe that NCAA has it right already. College athletes should not be paid to play. They go to college for and education and paid tuition. If college athletes get paid, then they won’t just focus on the game. They will worry about the money and when their getting paid. Money would ruin the NCAA, even if they can afford it like some articles say they can. Again, college athletes should not be paid and that it’s good the way it is. In the article, The Shirley Povich Center for Sports…
