St. John's gave it their very best and that game was so exciting it was ridiculous! When Duke won the entire stadium stood up and yelled "Coach K! Coach K!" THAT was class by the St. John's fans.
It's an incredible accomplishment. I am glad I saw it and glad for Coach K and his players. Hate me if you must.

He deserves every accolade as the G.O.A.T.
I've always admired Coach K and never quite understood all the haterade directed towards him. I've always hated Duke the program and a large part of that was due to envy, not to mention the ever annoying "typical Duke player" stereotype.
Every dynasty has haters and Coach K/Duke are no exception. But for all he has done in his stellar career... spanning decades, the values he constantly espouses, how he motivates and inspires players, and the loyalty he engenders, theres no doubt that he's well-deserving of this milestone.
Congrats to Coach K.

No matter what you think of K, he is buds with JB. Two great coaches who have stayed with one team for a long time.
He breeds floppers and whiners. 1k is a great accomplishment, but the style of play that his teams use is detrimental to the game.

I can't stand him, and I think he is a bit fake.
Yet this is such a tremendous mark that he deserves to get many accolades and be at the top of the sports world news for a few days.
I give him a short well done and one clap... that was hard to do for me.

He's cheated multiple times and Duke has never been penalized for it. That's one of the reasons I don't like the guy.
touché... thank you
He broke 1K two weeks ago, actually... Though he "vacated" his 95 season, maybe??? he won 4 games then I believe, but got demolished by UVa and then decided to take the rest of the year off to recover from back surgery... I have no respect for him as he has always embellished his early trials in the ACC ... good coach, yes... just can't stand him and his arrogance...

I hated the Coach K teams of the nineties through the Redick years. I couldn't have cared less about them during the Paulus years. I have like the teams they have put together the last few years.
My company has brought him in to speak, and he came across as funny, down to earth, and charismatic -- he was absolutely fantastic.
I get why people hate Coach K and Duke -- he uses the charge as a defensive tool; he recruits too many choir boys to play on his teams; the media fawns over him because he is the greatest coach of the mass media era (and maybe ever); he rides refs all games hoping to influence a key call late in the game. It gets annoying.
But essentially, people hate him because he coaches and runs his program to be extremely successful and win games, not so it makes him the most popular guy in college basketball.
Couple that with him being fantastically philanthropic and extremely loyal to his university (he did turn down the opportunity to take the premier coaching job in the field, coaching arguably a top-10 or -15 player of all time in his prime).
I'd kill for a future SU coach to be like that.

The present coach absolutely fits that bill

I wasn't comparing JB to K. When typing that, I was thinking about how when a program replaces a legend in coaching (especially in the NCAAs), it is thrust into uncertainty -- I really hope that our future coaches will share many of the same values of K. I wasn't implying that JB didn't share any of the same traits -- I actually think that loyalty to their programs, philanthropy, being basketball fans outside of coaching, and the life experiences those traits brought is probably a reason that they are such good friends.

Best coach in the history of the college game.
As did another ACC coach, who turned down that head coaching job in order to keep his college coaching job and make a lot less than K.
