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


They weren't the "Duke" that we know, but they went to the NCAA Championship in the late 70's with Mike Gminski and some other dudes. I think that they lost to Kentucky. That was only a few years before Coach K.

They were the runner up two years before coach K arrived and had success in 60 so he didnt take over a nonexistent program. It doesn't take away from what he has accomplished though which beats Wooden He is tGOAT.

Yeah, they weren't a blue blood but they were a top 20 program.
