A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. Coach K PDF

The definitive biography of college basketball’s all-time winningest coach, Mike Krzyzewski

Mike Krzyzewski, known worldwide as “Coach K,” is a five-time national champion at Duke, the NCAA’s all-time leader in victories with nearly 1,200, and the first man to lead Team USA to three Olympic basketball gold medals. Through unprecedented access to Krzyzewski’s best friends, closest advisers, fiercest adversaries, and generations of his players and assistants, three-time New York Times bestselling author Ian O’Connor takes you behind the Blue Devil curtain with a penetrating examination of the great, but flawed leader as he closes out his iconic career.

Krzyzewski built a staggering basketball empire that has endured for more than four decades, placing him among the all-time titans of American sport, and yet there has never been a defining portrait of the coach and his program. Until now. O’Connor uses scores of interviews with those who know Krzyzewski best to deliver previously untold stories about the relationships that define the venerable Coach K, including the one with his volcanic mentor, Bob Knight, that died a premature death. Krzyzewski was always driven by an inner rage fueled by his tough Chicago upbringing, and by the blue-collar Polish-American parents who raised him to fight for a better life. As the retiring Coach K makes his final stand, vying for one more ring during the 2021-2022 season before saying goodbye at age 75, O’Connor shows you sides of the man and his methods that will surprise even the most dedicated Duke fan.

“Basketball fans might feel as though they already know Coach K – or Mike Krzyzewski, the decades-long coach of the Duke Blue Devils who’s set to retire after this season. In this insightful biography, sportswriter O’Connor captures the formative experiences and inner drive that catapulted the coach to icon status. Even the most die-hard fans will learn something.”

Mostly solid
April 11, 2022

On balance, I enjoyed this book, and it was a pretty easy read to get through.

I was worried that the writer would just fawn over the coach while ignoring some of his darker aspects. That’s not really the case. The book makes it clear that the coach is an immensely talented person with a gift for working with people and inspiring them. But it also doesn’t avoid some of the problematic aspects of his history — the pettiness, the arrogance the blind eye toward cheating. All of it is in here.

The only part of the book that annoyed me is that, too many times, the writer tried to create moments that read like they were out of a movie. Basically, something like this, “Coach K told his kids, ‘We’re going to win this game. You hear me? We’re going to win it.’ They then proceeded to go out and win 78-76.” Ok, that’s all well and good, but how many times did Coach K tell all his kids they were “going to win it” — only to then go out and lose. The guy’s a terrific coach, but he’s not a clairvoyant or Gene Hackman from “Hoosiers.”

Honestly, though, that’s an irritating but small quibble. Overall, good book.

A great summary on one extraordinary Coach, who had the greatest career of any College Basketball coach I ever saw, including Dean Smith.

Quick Read – Good Insights
March 7, 2022

Some stories I hadn’t read other places. The examination of the Coach K and Coach Knight relationship is compelling.

The warts and all approach shows that Coach K while perhaps more successful than his mentor, like many of us has trouble admitting when he’s wrong and apologies are tough.

This is one of the great books of the past year
February 24, 2022

This is one of the best books that I have ever read. It was a one seat never put down literary classic. I cannot not believe how well Ian captured Coach K without any interaction from him. This is an extensive work involving pretty much everyone in his life. I really enjoy Ian as a writer this might be his best work. Enjoy.

The definitive biography of arguably the greatest college basketball coach of all time. For all his greatness Coach K had his flaws just like all of us. A difficult book to put down. Highly recommend.
