Mike Krzyzewski on the Dan Patrick Show Full Interview | 7/30/24

[@romeobodeodo]

Great interview of a couple old guys who don't take life so seriously anymore. 👍

"your desk is a wannabe.... my desk is a be" got dayum mike

[@wills2140]

Coach K knows how to get to the heart of the matter and "educate" or "motivate" . 😊

[@stingrey1571]

interviewing legendary duke coach mike Krzyzewski dan: How awesome was jordan?

[@emersonpinto1802]

The love of the game...Coach K said the truth about the game.

[@williamdillard5060]

His eyes have seen The Glory... Coach Mike K has seen, coached, talked to and mentored some of THE GREATEST PLAYERS IN NBA HISTORY. Yet he still sounds like a college coach that wants to win but also help "mold" decent, hardworking, men. DP haz really outdone himself with this week's guests.

[@JF7_91]

Coach K is hilarious 😂😂😂

[@NoNo-ks4gg]

Coach K is always great to hear --- probably not if you were an average hoop player --- but his self-effacing behavior is just so funny, yet humbling to hear!

[@wills2140]

It is what makes Coach K so special - he is very detailed serious about his tasks and goals, but also human and can connect with most anybody. He takes his "work" serious enough, but not himself.

[@richardrojas6306]

DP, very good interview. Excellent chat with a great Coach K. 👋🏀🏅

[@TheJRVol]

Laettner should be in the Naismith HOF. One of the greatest college players of all time should be in it. It’s called an exception. His impact is still discussed today 35 years later..

[@brian_and_the_car]

Only 4 or 5 players have ever been inducted in to Naismith without an nba career… They were all euro’s. Ain’t happening like K said, because he was stellar in college only, meh in the pros.

[@ronherrera8327]

@@brian_and_the_car I agree not fair of Dan to put Coach K on the spot like that.

[@wills2140]

I personally have not really liked Laettner, even when he was "humbled" to be the lone collegiate player on the "Dream Team"... but there seriously needs to be a category that gets him into the Naismith *Basketball* Hall of Fame. Christian *did* have a... substantive pro career in the NBA. As much as it pains me to say this... if Toni Kukoč is in the Naismith Bball Hall, Christian Laettner should be there as well (and I am a Bulls fan for lyfe).

[@TheJRVol]

@@wills2140 agreed. I very much disliked Laettner during his career. However when looking at this objectively it's easy to see his impact was HOF worthy..

[@brian_and_the_car]

@@wills2140 1 time all star traded 6 times and no rings, no all team anything… a long nba career yes, a substantive one, no

[@MDK384]

4 hours a week in the offseason is crazy low. Yes, obviously coaches shouldn't be able to run guys into the ground in the offseason, but if you seek the coach out you should be able to practice a pretty decent amount. Especially because you won't have classes necessarily during the summer. That is crazy. Although I'm sure most guys are doing lots of skill work, shooting, and running pick up beyond that

[@tomdrobyski319]

Always wonderful interview

I can not believe that I had totally blanked on Coach K playing his youth and Highschool basketball in Chicago! (even if it was the "Catholic League", it is also my hometown 19:45 ).

[@carloscavazos9440]

A lot of passive aggression going on here

[@silewis9396]

I think Mike was enjoying it

[@ethansmidt7845]

they always do this, it's good

[@JasonSmith-pe5py]

Coach K is a 3 time OLYMPIC gold medalists as head coach.But he also was head coach for 2 FIBA World Cup gold medal teams-which much of the rest of the basketball world outside American prioritizes over the Olympics. So I consider him a 5 time hold medalist as head coach-once as ast coach.

Mike is the Best , Mr GOAT HOF , Coach

[@stevensprouse2449]

Don't get rid of the shot clock. I remember years ago watching the Virginia Duke ACC final and Duke went to the 4 corners just passing the ball forever and I'm screaming at the TV for Terry Holland (VA coach) to foul and he didn't and Duke won. Now that's Holland's fault but still ...

[@zachg3069]

Who wants to get rid of the shot clock? That’s the best addition to happen to the game.

[@Chalk89]

I think you misinterpreted what was said. Mike K said we high schools playing without a shot clock, he wasn't endorsing it.

[@trevormiles4952]

Luv Coach K

[@danielmarbella1197]

I think they should unify not only among United States, but also change rule set and game characteristics to match a little bit more international basketball. You can not continue trying to compete internationally if even the ball is different man. And I suspect that the ball is different once you see Steve Curry having difficulties even bouncing it.

[@L4pa100]

Dan stop being scared and ask him straight up would he have been Tatum ! Smh

[@Bask3tChase]

10:52 Only rich kids can afford to go to the “basketball camps”, now a days. It is what it is, but it’s why the league is soft.

[@Chalk89]

I've always told parents that these basketball camps are nonsense. Thanks to KZbin, all the drills you need are a click away. Also, take your kid to the nearest basketball court - make sure he's playing with kids at or above his skillset, he/she will be fine.

[@Bask3tChase]

Ok, and as nice as all of that sounds on paper, it doesn't apply to reality. I've coached AAU, and those camps are not nonsense. The super ritzy ones literally have state of the art equipment, techniques and nutrition. The tools and drills are on another level. Playground hoopers dont have the skills these rich kids have. They have more heart, and every now and then the league is lucky enough to get a Jimmy Butler or a Anthony Edwards to buck the rich kid trend, but for the most part the majority of all the high end prospects and the scouts rating them are at the rich kid camps.. It's literally how you get noticed now a days. Again, it is what it is, but it's why US hoopers are looked at as soft, and why hoopers with immigrant mentality are taking their spots.

[@Chalk89]

You're confused with my reference to camps - I'm not talking about high school players, I'm talking about elementary aged kids. I've coached in PA, NJ and MD including collegiately at the D1 level. Cam Whitmore wasn't paying to go to camps, Lavoy Allen wasn't paying to go to camps, the Morris twins were not paying to go to camps, Tyreke Evans wasn't paying to go to camps. Hell, I went to summer league camp in the eighth grade at Villanova...we scrimmaged 90% of the time. I was one of the few that paid to go, the rest were future D1 studs, NBA guys. The reason why our hoopers are 'soft,' it's because of AAU. Dog shit defense, highlight-tape culture. Spending too much time practicing bad habits and hoping to get a shout out on Twitter, Instagram.@@Bask3tChase

[@Bask3tChase]

@@Chalk89 The only person you named under 35 was Cam Whitmore.. I get what You're saying, but what I'm saying applies to these kids coming in now, and for the last decade. The majority of the 4-5 star recruits are rich kids who were at camps the scouts were personally invited to attend, or kids who were lucky enough to be seen by a retired NBA player somewhere and brought onto their AAU team.

[@Chalk89]

@@Bask3tChase for the sake of privacy, I’m not going to name my current kids, of which one is committed to a top-25 (four star), other is a rising three star committed to one of our military institutions. Neither are rich, far from it. However, they were involved in organized ball at an early age. They are mentally, physically strong. Also, the key is they know how to play four spots on the floor, aren’t just focused on jacking threes.

I'm with Dickie V on this. Coach K is the greatest coach in this game who ever lived. Come on Patrick, just get an autograph and leave it at that.

[@wills2140]

Sorry, that is recency bias. I adore what Coach K did for USA Basketball, but... Coach John Wooden is the greatest college coach. And either Red Auerbach or Phil Jackson is the best NBA head coach.

[@jeangriffith8017]

@@wills2140 Ah, but what about the competition Coach K faced. Granted it was coach Wooden who led to credibility and brought the spotlight to bear on the tournament, but Coach K faced much tougher competition. Difficult to dispute that fact.

[@4747da]

Stop it. Latener shouldn't be in the hall of fame. That's really lowering the bar. They shouldn't even consider college careers actually.

[@Chalk89]

Lowering the bar happens when you have WNBA players in there who we never heard of. Christian Laettner undoubtedly has to be included in the story time of basketball. He won twice in college, won the Naismith award and his first eight years in the NBA he averaged 17 points. He also played 13-years...that's nothing to scoff at.

[@wills2140]

Just because *you* don't know Lisa Leslie and other great WNBA players, does not equal that they have not earned their place in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.

[@Chalk89]

@@wills2140 LOL, you name Lisa Leslie like she wasn’t well known during her playing career. There’s an abundance of pro WNBA players who are incredibly undistinguished compared to CL.
