Mike Krzyzewski Duke Blue Devils Curl Play

Written by Coach Peterman

I have coached at the NCAA Division 2 (Southwestern Oklahoma State University), NAIA (USAO), and JUCO Levels (Blinn College and Carl Albert State College) as well as high school. I just felt that fellow coaches especially young coaches need to constantly work on their “game”. Just like the basketball players that we coach. We as coaches need to improve ourselves. That is my story and why I do this blog.

Mike Krzyzewski Duke Blue Devils Curl Play

This Mike Krzyzewski Duke Blue Devils Curl Play is one of the best plays that Coach Mike Krzyzewski runs in his set play arsenal. 24 years ago, the Mike Krzyzewski Duke Blue Devils came to the Final Four and slayed the UNLV Running Rebels. Five years ago, the Mike Krzyzewski Duke Blue Devils came to the Final Four and watched the Butler Bulldogs almost pull off the upset by shooting the ball off the rim at the last second.

The coaching resume includes five national championship titles, two Olympic gold medals and more than a 1000 victories. I do believe that this victory was probably one of the best in his career. Coach K has never had a team like this one and says that none of his teams has produced more of a joy to coach than this one. That is making a statement there. The Mike Krzyzewski Duke Blue Devils have changed their philosophy while adapting to the changing game. Now they are in the one and done era, he has a team of eight players with four freshman. Those freshman led the way with the victory last night.

This Mike Krzyzewski Duke Blue Devils Curl Play has several different options in it with a UCLA screen, down screen, and possible ball screen. You could tell that Coach K was so in the moment last night. I was pulling for Bo Ryan and the Wisconsin Badgers, but I do respect the coaching ability of Coach K. I think that you can put this Mike Krzyzewski Duke Blue Devils Curl Play in your set play playbook. It’s one of their best set plays.
