Check out Duke basketball before and after Coach K took over (1980). That guy built that program into one of the power prpgrams.


Uh, Bill Foster wasn't much of a slouch. He left that program in good condition for Krzyzewski to continue the upward climb. Duke was only three years removed from a national title appearance and one year removed from an Elite Eight when Coach K arrived.

Despite being perhaps the greatest college basketball coach of all-time (there has been greater parity in the last 30 years as opposed to when Wooden coached), he gets way too much credit from building that program from the ground up.
