Adolph Rupp about to be passed by Coach Krzyzewski in all-time wins

Hate to report this but we all knew it would come to fruition sooner or later. Mike Krzyzewski is one of just six coaches in Division I history to reach 800 career wins. His 874 wins rank fourth among college basketball’s victory leaders and first among active coaches. Krzyzewski is three wins shy of passing Adolph Rupp for third place all-time. Krzyzewski is six wins shy of passing Dean Smith as the winningest coach in ACC history.
