One of Mike Krzyzewski’s more underrated accomplishments was coaching two teams at the same time.
Well, not strictly speaking. It was more of an overlap since his role with USA Basketball mostly started at the end of the college basketball season. But that also meant that he had minimal opportunity to get out on the recruiting trail and the fact that he still won two national championships while coaching the US Olympic Team to three gold medal performances.
The gold medal game in 2008, his first, was against Spain. The US had not yet re-established itself as a supreme power in international basketball.
