In 2008 and in 2012, Coach K led the U.S. men’s basketball team to Olympic gold medals, becoming the first coach since Henry Iba (1964 & 1968) to accomplish that feat. In the 11 years of coaching the USA Team, he led them to 3 Olympic Gold Medals plus 2 World Championship Gold Medals in 2010 and 2014.
Coach K is the author of two New York Times best-sellers, including “Beyond Basketball: Coach K’s Keywords for Success.” He also recently released his third book, “The Gold Standard: Building a World-Class Team.” A 12-time National Coach of the Year, in 2011, Sports Illustrated named Coach K its Sportsman of the Year.
