Judy Woodruff:
He came from humble roots, raised in Chicago in a Polish-American Catholic family. His mother, Emily, encouraged him to attend West Point, where he was a standout basketball player under head coach Bobby Knight.
He served in the Army, before coaching his alma mater. From there, Krzyzewski went to Duke, where, for 42 years, he was a force in the college game. Coach K won five national championships with the Blue Devils and set the NCAA record for all-time wins. He also led the U.S. National Basketball Team, winning three Olympic gold medals.
And, at his side, his wife, Mickie, their three daughters and 10 grandchildren.
I met Mike Krzyzewski in his office at Duke for an exclusive conversation about his life and legacy.
Mike Krzyzewski, I try to be a fair reporter always, but I have to say being here at Duke, my alma mater, the chance to talk with you, it's a real treat. Thank you.
