Throughout his illustrious career, Krzyzewski has captured five NCAA Tournament championships, coached 23 All-Americans, reached the NCAA Tournament 35 times, and is the D-I men’s basketball leader in career wins at 1,170.

All signs point to current Duke assistant Jon Scheyer succeeding Krzyzewski, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Scheyer is expected to soon be named the coach-in-waiting. He has been on the Duke staff since 2014 and was elevated to associate head coach in 2018.
