SIRIUS XM Radio announced today that Mike Krzyzewski, the head coach of the Duke University and U.S. Men's Olympic basketball teams, will return to host his exclusive weekly talk show, Basketball and Beyond with Coach K. The show's fourth season tips off tonight, October 21 (7:00-8:00 pm ET), and airs nationwide on XM channel 144 and SIRIUS channel 123.
Every week, Basketball and Beyond with Coach K will feature discussions on a wide array of topical issues, covering the state of college basketball and showcasing Krzyzewski's personal perspective on principles for life on and off the court. Coach K and his returning co-host, Dave Sims, will interview a variety of special guests, including business leaders, entertainers, coaches and athletes.
Jerry Colangelo, the managing director of USA Basketball's Men's Senior National Team program for the past three years, will be the guest on the 2008 debut show October 21.
"Dave and I have had a lot of fun with this show the last three years, talking about basketball, business and many other topics," said Krzyzewski. "I'm thrilled that this year our audience has grown to include both XM and SIRIUS subscribers and I look forward to giving our listeners an entertaining and enriching show about life on the court and off."
Krzyzewski has one of the top coaching resumes of all-time. In 33 years as a head coach, Coach K compiled a 803-267 record, led Duke to three NCAA Championships (1991, 1992 and 2001), guided the Blue Devils to 10 Final Four appearances, developed 20 All-Americas and mentored seven National Players of the Year. The Blue Devils, who have been ranked No. 1 in 12 different seasons, have won 11 Atlantic Coast Conference regular season titles and 10 ACC Tournament championships.
