Dean and K: Legendary Parallels (Part 5)

Posted Dec 13, 2008
Coach K has more wins at Duke than Dean Smith had at UNC in the same amount of time. The Tar Heel coach has a slightly better ACC regular-season winning percentage. But Krzyzewski has an edge in March. He also has two more NCAA titles, four more Final Four appearances and the same number of ACC championships. If newspapers published the daily tracking polls they used to do for the home run chase, you’d have to say K would be a few games ahead of the Babe … er, Smith. (ACC Sports Journal)
