wolverine. i ve got to be careful what i say here, but i had been told anecdotally what the side effects are of that, and i was like, i don t love it that much. yeah, no, no, i so i just do it the old-school way. and i ll tell you, i ve eaten more chickens i m so sorry to all the vegans and vegetarians and chickens of the world. i ve just literally, the karma s not good for me, if the diety has anything related to chickens, i m in trouble. there s so much more of our conversation with hugh jackman as well as our sit-downs with coach k. and john williams. you can catch their full interviews anytime you want on hbo max. and join us next sunday night here on cnn when my guests are the rising democratic star, michigan governor gretchen whitmer and actress and business mogul, jessica alba. thank you for watching and good night.
do you feel your life is in danger? the love of my mother is what brought me here. what was the worst investment? there is a long list of really bad ones. with march madness around the corner, we go one on one with coach k. m mike with an impressive record with five national championships, three olympic golds, and the most victories of any college basketball coach ever. go right away. while beloved by his players, his courtside glaring and swearing made him a target for the other side. i hate duke like i hate the nazis. last year coach k hung up his whistle. i ve been a very lucky guy. but now, in one of his first post retirement interviews, he
in more than 40 seasons at duke, coach k guided his team to more than five national championships and 13 final four appearances making him one of the greatest college coaches ever but despite lots of offers, he never went to the pros. you were approached according to what i ve read six different times to coach in the nba including by a couple teams pretty well-known, the boston celtics and los angeles lakers. why did you always say no, co coach? look, if you re any good coach at any sport, you ll be approached. i m not the only basketball coach that s been approached. at the end of the day, the way the college game was, i love the college game.
gives us his candid take what is wrong with the ncaa and reveals who he thinks will cut down the net this time. coach k, welcome. thanks so much for doing. no, i m excited to do it. i ve watched many of your conversations and they re really good. well, thank you, sir. let s start at the beginning. how are you feeling and how are you doing retired from coaching especially when the first time in almost 40 years, you re not going to be leading a team into march madness? yeah, i m really happy and at peace, chris. b busy, happy. i spent almost 50 years coaching west point, my alma mater, duke for 42 years and 11 years with the u.s. team so i pretty much have squeezed every bit of
a chance and that s what happens when you have that period of time that you are with look, we had a great team and grant did throw a great pass. christian had the courage to take that one dribble to get good momentum and then he hit it and that shows you, though, chris, how hard it is to win that tournament because if he misses, we don t win our second national championship. and sometimes it s one play like that, not necessarily in the game for the championship that puts you in a position to win. that s why i think it s the toughest tournament in sport to win. coming up, coach k helps with your brackets. revealing his picks for the final four including who is going to win at all. plus, the biggest mistake he ever made and it wasn t on the basketball court.
