Krzyzewski to be Inducted into FIBA Hall of Fame
1/16/2025 10:59:00 AM | Athletics
MIES (Switzerland) - Mike Krzyzewski, who captured three Olympic gold medals, two World Cup gold medals and five NCAA national championships as a head coach, has been selected for induction to the FIBA Hall of Fame Class of 2025.
Every member of the Class of 2025 will be honored at an enshrinement ceremony on May 17 that will take place alongside the FIBA Mid-Term Congress in Bahrain. Krzyzewski and eight players, including Spanish legend Pau Gasol and multi-time USA champion Dawn Staley, are being recognized for their stellar individual contributions to the sport.
Krzyzewski masterminded USA's effort to return to the summit following a blistering defeat in the semifinals of the 2006 World Cup. He was at the helm of the star-laden Team USA that was nicknamed 'Redeem Team,' and conquered the gold medal at the 2008 Olympics, and followed up by steering a Kevin Durant-led USA to World Cup glory in 2010, in Turkey.
'Coach K', as he is affectionately known, led USA to one more World Cup title and two more Olympic gold medals before stepping down as his nation's head coach in 2016 to focus exclusively on his illustrious NCAA career, where he led Duke to13 NCAA Final Four appearances and five national championships (1991, 1992, 2001, 2010, 2015).
Here is the full list of inductees that make up the 2025 Class of the FIBA Hall of Fame:

- Alphonse Bilé (Côte d'Ivoire)
- Andrew Bogut (Australia)
