DURHAM, N.C. (AP) β Mike Krzyzewski is on the verge of yet another coaching milestone.
The Duke coach will become the first men’s coach in Division I history with 1,000 wins on Sunday if his fifth-ranked Blue Devils beat St. John’s.
That milestone could come in the same arena where three seasons ago he became the winningest men’s coach in college basketball’s top tier.
A win at Madison Square Garden would bring his record to 1,000-308 during a career that spans four decades and includes four NCAA tournament titles and 11 Final Fours.
He says the wins that matter most are the ones that bring titles, not milestones, and he calls the forthcoming accomplishment “a heck of a thing … but it’s not a championship.”
