Mike Krzyzewski Breaks Record for Most Wins in D-I History

Mike Krzyzewski made more history Saturday.

Thanks to the Duke Blue Devils' 87-62 romp over the Rhode Island Rams at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Krzyzewski surpassed former Tennessee Volunteers women's coach Pat Summitt as the winningest basketball coach in Division I history.

Coach K now owns 1,099 wins. However, he believes he would still have a long way to go had Summitt not been forced to retire after she was diagnosed with dementia.

"She would have won hundreds of more games. Pat could have coached men. She did coach women," he said, according to the Duke Chronicle's Ben Leonard.
