What is Coach K doing now after retiring from Duke?

Duke Blue Devils basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski retired at the end of last season. Jon Scheyer, one of his former players, replaced him. What is Coach K up to now?

Mike Krzyzewski has yet to attend a game at Cameron Indoor Stadium as a guest. The former coach says he doesn’t want to be a distraction for the players or Jon Scheyer, who is in his first season as the leader of the program.

Krzyzewski is a larger than life presence around Durham, and it’s understandable that he’d want to take a break of some sort with his family. Coach K does watch every game, admittedly.

“I’m being honest, I do not miss coaching,” Krzyzewski said. “That doesn’t mean I don’t love the game … because in order to coach, you have to prepare, and I was an ultimate preparer.”

Duke: What is Coach K doing now after retiring?

Since retiring, Mike Krzyzewski hasn’t been to any Duke games at Cameron Indoor Stadium. He’s taking things easy, and has yet to sign any sort of broadcasting deal. Krzyzewski has invited some fans to watch him from his office, with the hopes of raising money for the Emily Krzyzewski Center, which is a “nonprofit named after Krzyzewski’s mother implements four distinct programs designed to build on the academic, career, and leadership potential of students who are traditionally underrepresented in higher education,” per WRAL Sports.

Most importantly, Coach K is trying to find his purpose in life without basketball. What that is, he’s not as sure about.

“When I retired [and when I was] thinking of retirement and talking to people, one word came up a lot was to have purpose,” Krzyzewski said. “Purpose that when you get up in the morning, what’s your purpose?”

For now, Krzyzewski is enjoying retirement.
