There is no guarantee that the assistant to a legendary coach will be able to emulate their mentor once they have their own programs. That is certainly the case for the disciples of Duke's Mike Krzyzewski.
Coach K's coaching tree features 15 former assistants who have gone on to become college head coaches. As a group, they have a record of 2834–2412, good for a win percentage of 54%. On Saturday night, Krzyzewski's direct successor, Jon Scheyer, became the first of his assistants to reach a Final Four with Duke's 82–62 win over Alabama.
