While a 32nd-place finish on the women’s side might not jump off the screen, Duke still made some history in Eugene, Ore., with All-American distinction in five events and a program-high five top-10 finishes.
Cameron Chronicles host Shane Smith, along with fellow men's basketball beat writers Evan Kolin and Max Rego, react to the announcement that Krzyzewski will retire after next season. They run through Coach K's career, including his first few seasons at Duke, his greatest accomplishments and more.
People ask all the time: is change a good thing? The shock of Mike Krzyzewski announcing that the 2021-22 season would be his last underlies the more nuanced agenda—comprehending a legacy that, at face value, is incomprehensible.

So yeah, the Blue Devils will leave Arizona dissatisfied. They played brilliantly down the stretch against Arizona State in the quarterfinals, but could not mount the back-nine charge needed to snatch victory from Oklahoma State’s holsters in the semifinals. But a quick peek at 2021-22 reveals that Duke is not going anywhere.
"We didn't need to get this far for me to know how good they are," Blue Devil head coach Dan Brooks said. "We could go out and have this championship, this match play day, again, and it might go a different direction and we might win them both. Hats off to Oklahoma State though, they played some great golf, that match was really something."
Late May gives way to one thing in college golf: champions being crowned. And much like the last few seasons, the Blue Devils are right in the thick of the chase for eternal glory.
The love affair with Duke culminated in Kim signing her letter of intent in November 2017. At the time, it was a safe bet to assume that Kim would be a major factor in the future of the program. Once she arrived in Durham though, Kim was thrown into the fire quickly.
King currently serves as the Senior Deputy Director of Athletics for Administration/Legal Affairs and Chief of Staff.
