Review “The reporting and research are exhaustive and impressive. The writing is direct. The portrayal is fair, but unsparing. In many ways, Ian OConnors work is like Mike Krzyzewski himself: unrelenting, contemplative, purposeful. You not only learn about the coach and the man in this book, but more important, you understand him. No small feat.” -- --Gene Wojciechowski, ESPN’s College GameDay reporter and New York Times bestselling author of The Last Great Game I think Ian is one of the best writers in the country...and look at it as an honor that somebody of that level would write a book on me. -- --Mike Krzyzewski, Duke mens basketball coachNew York Post sports columnist O’Connor (Belichick) delivers a standout definitive biography of Mike Krzyzewski, who led the Duke Blue Devils to five NCAA titles during his decades-long tenure as coach.... The coach’s preternatural ability to motivate people to achieve things they did not believe they were capable of achieving is inspiring, as is the arc that O’Connor paints of his life as a low-income street kid who became the greatest college basketball coach of all time. Fans won’t want to miss this insightful look at a colossal figure in college sports. -- Publishers WeeklyBasketball 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. -- Washington PostA sharpshooting account worthy of a champion. -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)The best account of a most pugnacious presence. ...a brilliant expose for anyone with interest in the combative melting pot of college athletics, sports management, and the type of character that succeeds within it. -- --RefereadsOConnor is a masterful biographer...No one does it better...An excellent biography of a fascinating basketball coach and highly recommended for any college basketball fan. -- All Sports Book Reviews“From one of the preeminent sports biographers in this country…another piece of remarkable work” -- --Adrian Wojnarowski, The Woj PodIt is absolutely fantastic. [The] level of reporting is insane. …This book is so fun, it really is. When you bring in the Bob Knight stuff, it is jet fuel to this book. You can’t get enough of this….An absolute must read.” -- --Colin Cowherd, The Herd Host andNew York Times Bestselling AuthorA fascinating portrait of sporting greatness... There is a staggering amount of reportage at work here. ...(OConnors) reporting bona fides permeate the book, with a clear, concise authorial voice that informs and entertains without the passing of judgment -- an uncommon feat in a biography, particularly a sports biography.... An outstanding work. -- ---Allen Adams, themainedge A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERThe definitive biography of college basketball’s all-time winningest coach, Mike KrzyzewskiMike Krzyzewski, known worldwide as “Coach K,” is a five-time national champion at Duke, the NCAAs 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 delive
