Mike Krzyzewski, the winningest coach in men’s college basketball and the architect of Duke University’s premier standing in the sport, is expected to retire at the end of the coming season, a person familiar with his deliberations said on Wednesday.
Krzyzewski has led the Duke program since 1980, winning 1,097 games and five national championships there. But the coach, who will turn 75 next winter, had recently decided to draw his career to an end, said the person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity ahead of a formal announcement by the university.
Jon Scheyer, Duke’s associate head coach and one of Krzyzewski’s former players, is expected to succeed Krzyzewski.
