The end is near for Duke Blue Devils head coach Mike Krzyzewski. Specifically, the 2022 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament will be the last one for the man known as Coach K. Now, in his 42nd season, Krzyzewski is heading off into the sunset of retirement. Of course, there is nothing Coach K would love more than to go out a March Madness betting champion. And with a run to the Sweet Sixteen, a national title or at least a Final Four berth is a realistic possibility. Last week Duke impressed everyone with strong performances.
