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.

it s gone bonkers good. that is a great thing. what a tribute to your mom. finally, coach, i need some help with my march madness nness bra oh, wow. you got to help me here. i don t want sort of a non-answer. who do you see in the final four and you cannot say duke. first of all, there s more parody in college basketball than ever and so the field is really open and i think houston has shown that they ve stood the test of time but kansas is one of the truly great coaches in our game and they re playing at a high level. i still like purdue in there because i ve used 7 2 guy is the most impactful player.
