WATCH: CBS inadvertently calls out Coach K during pre-game broadcast

Ahead of Duke’s Second Round matchup against Michigan State in the NCAA Tournament, CBS showed a video montage including some of Mike Krzyzewski’s best quotes and called him out in the process. Whether on purpose or not, the resulting image quickly caught people’s attention.

During CBS’ video montage shown on the pregame show, an iconic Mike Krzyzewski quote was immediately followed up with the exception to his rule.

“The only banners that are up at Duke are championship banners,” Krzyzewski said at a press conference. However, the next shot shows his banner honoring the most career victories in NCAA Division I basketball.

The ironic choice of image selection comes immediately after showing the many national championship banners across Cameron Indoor Stadium. Over Krzyzewksi’s career, he led Duke to five national championships and holds an all-time record of 1,199-367 on his way to the Hall of Fame.

Mike Krzyzewski on March Madness

It’s March, which means coaches don’t sleep until April, or they’re knocked out of the tournament. This season is a bit different for Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski, as he is set to retire at the conclusion of the Blue Devil’s NCAA Tournament run.

Kryzyewski was asked about the prospect of relaxing following Duke’s first round victory over CSU Fullerton. With his eventual opponent Michigan State battling Davidson in a back and forth, exciting matchup at the time of his press conference, Krzyzewski had no time to celebrate with such a quick turn around on Sunday.

“Well, that’s not happening,” Krzyzewski said about taking his foot off the gas. “Relax has not been there since June, which is fine. I mean, that’s what you do. We’re excited and proud of the fact that we’re going to play on Sunday. So you get reenergized. But tonight will be a real late night. One of the teams are playing right now. You don’t know who you’re playing and scouting and whatever. So there’s no time to sit back.”

Now that Krzyzewski knows he’s dancing one more time against long-time friend and coaching adversary Tom Izzo and his Michigan State Spartans, it provides extra motivation to Krzyzewski, who is fighting to keep his career alive one game at a time this postseason.

Izzo said Wednesday that, “It would be an honor,” for Michigan State to play against Krzyzewski. The future hall of fame headman is 3–12 all-time against Krzyzewski. The last time Krzyzewski played Izzo and the Spartans in the NCAA tournament in 2019, it was Michigan State who sent him packing in the Elite 8.
