An official announcement is expected in the near future.

What an absolutely insane situation unfolding in the world of college basketball right now. Coach K is retiring after one more season!

I can’t believe this is real. We’re not just talking about a great coach. We’re talking about arguably the greatest college coach to ever live.

He’s a pillar in the sport, and he’s apparently calling it quits after the 2021-22 campaign.

Coach K has won five national titles, been to the Final Four 12 times and he turned the Blue Devils into a national power.

We might never see a guy like him in the sport ever again.

It’s going to be awesome to see what Coach K can do in his final season. From a Wisconsin fan, it’s nothing but respect for Coach Krzyzewski.
