  Today Mike Krzyzewski turns 75 years old!

  Happy Birthday Coach K!

  Though, his 75th birthday will be his final birthday as the Head Coach of Duke!

  Why?

  Mike Krzyzewski is retiring after the 2021-2022 season!

  Why?

  Mike Krzyzewski had this to say about his decision!

  You might ask, 'Why are you doing this right now?' Look, this is not about health. Mickie and I, whether we look it or not -- she does -- whether I look healthy ... I am. It's not about COVID or saying, 'Boy, that year was so bad.' It's not about that. It's certainly not about what's going on with college basketball. 'Boy, the game is changing.' All right. I've been in it for 46 years. You think the game has never changed?"

  He later added: "Those aren't the reasons. ... The reason we're doing this is because Mickie and I have decided the journey is going to be over in a year. And we're going to go after it as hard as we possibly can."
