INITIAL REPORT:
According to a report from Jeff Goodman, Duke Men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski will soon make an official announcement that he has decided to retire following the 2021-22 season.
Though this is not terribly surprising considering Coach K is 74 years old, what is surprising is that Goodman is also reporting that the leading candidate to replace the Hall of Fame coach is former Duke player, Jon Scheyer.
