DURHAM (KXAN) — The winningest coach in college basketball history — Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski — will retire after this coming season, the university announced Wednesday

Jeff Goodman with Stadium was the first to break the news Wednesday afternoon. Duke released a statement on Coach K’s decision to leave college basketball after 46 years as a head coach.

Duke assistant Jon Scheyer, who played for Coach K from 2011 to 2013, has been named the coach-in-waiting for the 2021-22 season, taking over the program in April 2022.

Krzyzewski currently has a career record of 1,097-302 with five national championships (1991, 1992, 2001, 2010 and 2015) and 12 Final Fours. He won the Atlantic Coast Conference regular season championship 12 times and won the conference tournament 15 times. He also coached the U.S. Men’s National Team to six gold medals, three in the Olympics.

However, this past season, Duke finished with a 13-11 record and failed to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1995.

Coach K’s 1,170 wins is an all-time record and 87 more wins than any other coach. Of the Top 5 coaches with the most wins in college basketball history, besides Coach K, only Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim is still actively coaching.

Fellow coaching legend Roy Williams retired earlier this year. Williams finished his career at Kansas and North Carolina with 903 wins, which is third all-time. Former UNC player Hubert Davis was tapped to replace Williams.
