		Inducted June 13, 1991 Duke University's basketball program (since his arrival in 1980) has the indelible Coach K brand: 11 straight seasons of at least 23 wins (1984-1994), 14 upper-division finishes in the past 15 years in the Atlantic Coast Conference, five straight NCAA Final Four berths, and in 1991 and 1992, back-to-back national titles, the only coach since John Wooden to do that. During the Krzyzewski era, Duke has averaged 24 wins a season. A native of Chicago, Krzyzewski was a three-year letterman at the U. S. Military Academy at West Point. His former Army coach, one Bobby Knight, offered him an assistant coaching position at Indiana. One year later, Krzyzewski returned to West Point, where in five years he had a 73-59 record and a pair of NIT appearances. Krzyzewski was an assistant coach of the 1992 U. S. Olympic Team in Barcelona.
