Congratulations to Coach K on his 1000th career win! Go Blue Devils!!!
!!!
A great achievement, especially considering student-athlete graduation rates and comportment throughout the last 30+ years.
Definitely an impressive achievement!!!
Another honor for Coach K: without Duke playing a game today, he became the winningest coach of a Division I men’s basketball program–937. (Syracuse has run into some problems with the NCAA, and Boeheim has had over 100 wins vacated.)
Coach K was ALREADY Division I’s most winning head coach; today’s NCAA Syracuse penalties do not alter that fact in the least. And he exceeded 1000 wins earlier this year.
Here’s a summary of the major NCAA actions:
[QUOTE=""]
Five years of probation, from March 6, 2015, through March 5, 2020.
Vacation of all wins in which ineligible men’s basketball students played in 2004-05, 2005-06, 2006-07, 2010-11 and 2011-12 and ineligible football students played in 2004-05, 2005-06 and 2006-07. The public decision contains additional details. ESPN reported this might be 180 – not 100 – basketball games.
Fine of $500 per contest played by ineligible students.
The school must return to the NCAA all funds it has received to date through the former Big East Conference revenue sharing for its appearances in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.
Suspension of the head basketball coach from the first nine conference games of 2015-16.
Reduction of men’s basketball scholarships by three for the 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 academic years. If the school has already executed scholarship offers for the 2015-16 year, the school may begin the four-year penalty with the 2016-17 year.
Reduction in the number of permissible off-campus recruiters from four to two from June 1, 2015, through May 31, 2017.
The panel also accepted the school’s self-imposed postseason ban for the 2014-15 season, but noted that self-imposition of penalties after the conclusion of infractions hearings does not influence the outcome.
Additional self-imposed penalties can be found in the public decision.

@TopTier I believe you misread my post. In shorthand, the record he gained today was winningest coach at a single school, that is, Duke. 73 of Coach K’s 1010 wins were from his tenure at Army. Boeheim has only coached at Syracuse. Before today’s sanctions, Boeheim was the winningest coach at a single school. Now, it is Coach K. By the way, number 2 on the list of wins at a single school is now Dean Smith.
Okay, thank you for clarifying, I misread your post.
On the plus side, if Boeheim decides to keep coaching he could pass Dean Smith’s win total twice.
