While this year will be his 41st season as head coach of Duke basketball, it will also be Mike Krzyzewski's final year as a head coach.
Coach K will retire as the winningest coach in NCAA men's basketball history with 1,170 wins in 46 total seasons as a basketball coach. 1,097 of those wins are with the Blue Devils.
There is a lot of anticipation around Coach K's final year, especially since the Blue Devils didn't make the NCAA March Madness Tournament in March 2021 for the first time since 1995. Coming into the season with a No. 9 ranking, the Blue Devils hope to improve this season while they play on center stage for their historical coach's last year.
Duke's season kicks off on Tuesday, Nov. 9 as they face No. 10 Kentucky in the Champions Classic. Take a look at the rest of the Blue Devils' schedule this season.
