ACC basketball's aging lions still ruling the room
Posted Feb 13, 2017
Mike Krzyzewski turned 70 on Monday, but the Duke icon isn’t the oldest head basketball coach in the ACC. At 72, Syracuse’s Jim Boeheim has that distinction. UNC's Roy Williams is 66. Dean Smith was 66 when he coached his last game at UNC in 1997. College coaching has changed a lot obviously, but so too has the money and the incentive to keep winning.
