Coach K. Is such an old school throwback. And old souls like Barkley and Ernie are so good for the soul of basketball and men in this country. Maybe I'm 45 and out of touch, but I think we need men like this more than ever in this country who aren't P.C., don't obsess about politics, or the media, or race divisions, but just try to make better men. I wish Charles would work in the White House in some capacity as a voice for the people.
Greatest coach in the history of American sports. He'd be the best college coach ever,if he never coached team USA. But 5 gold medals,between the Olympics,& World Championships...plus another in '92,as an assistant...coach K is the pinnacle,& pure class. And I'm not a Duke fan.
The love and respect both ways was incredible and I am glad that Coach K's sense of humor came out, he is perceived by many to not have one,,,but he does!
@@rudycenaronaldo5476 as a polish person, I can assure you it’s not: K is pronounced like K, RZ is pronounced like a french J Y is pronounced like “i” in “sid” Ż is also pronounced like a french “J” E is pronounced like “Eh” W is pronounced like a “V” And I’m pretty sure everyone can pronounce “-SKI”
@@arthousecommons3802 I read just recently that Michael's father changed his name to "Cross" because he was discriminated against because he was Polish, especially when he was looking for employment. Mr. Krzyzewski even had the name "Cross" on his tombstone. Years later, Michael and his brother William, had that tombstone destroyed and their father AND mother rest with that Polish name above them. Such a great testament to how great their parents were and instilled that pride and "belief"(Coach K's favorite word) into their two children!
Zach he does! I hate to see him limping though, but he has had hip replacement and all those years of being on the hardwoods can wear a body down....but he looks youthful, I am pretty sure he dyes his hair, but it doesn't look fake, like many men who dye their hair. Greatest coach on ANY level, in my opinion....next to Pat Summit women's NCAA coach. Coach K (surpassed her as the all-time winningest coach...he praises her as "the best coach ever", rightly so, another reason Coach K is a great individual....he had three daughters and he admits that the female is the superior gender!
I just had a Kobe moment…I was just thinking wouldn’t it be great if Kobe ended up going to Duke during his retirement and how great that would be to see him in the sidelines supporting Duke…completely forgetting Kobe is no longer with us 😭😭😭😭
I'm looking at that photo of the dream team @15:53 but I'm not seeing Sir Charles? Are we sure the Round Mound of Rebound was even there? Just a bunch of skinny lanky ball players.
Great coach...great man. He has been a great leader for men and boys into men. Well respected and well deserved. Love him being able to talk about shi wife and family too. Good stuff. I agree with the bulk of this conversation tho'...getting athletes to own themselves, I like it....the process/wild wild west feel to this all seems doomed.
This is the end of a great college basketball era, now that Roy Williams has retired and Coach K is about to start his retirement tour this upcoming year
Duke basketball has put itself in dangerous territory. Having the legend still on campus in the same office is not good for the basketball program. Anytime there’s a blip everyone will ask, “what would Coach K do?“
@@pierrecausemybladdersempty1678 Jordan is the one who's preventing that. Kenny said he tried to make them squash the beef (he got in contact w/ Jordan during a Tar Heel function if I remember correctly). Charles has mentioned multiple times that MJ is the GOAT and that he regrets the end of their friendship but he maintains that he was only doing his job and doesn't take his words back.
Coach K will always be remembered for losing a Final Four game to his school’s biggest rival in the last game he ever coached. That is a legacy you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy, but it is what it is and certainly his. The thing I will personally remember him for is that he talks through his nose, in addition to losing the 1994 NCAA Championship game to my favorite team, The University of Arkansas. He will be remembered for as long as people know how to spell his last name, which probably means he’s been forgotten already.
You know.... you listen to Charles interview Coach K... President Obama.. and others. Why does he do those Capital One commercials? Those commercials do him no favors.
No bro hes had offers from many NBA teams for way more then hes making at duke thru the years and always turned them all down. This year will be his last coaching unfortunately.
(1) The 1992 team literally was meant to be composed of the best NBA players at the time per position. Bird was no longer 100% healthy and Christian Laettner was the rookie pro chosen but aside from that, the Dream Team players were all just about in their primes. This year's squad isn't even as good as the 2008 or even 2012 team. A bunch of players are sitting out bc they want to prevent further injury and rest instead. Another roster factor is that there is no size on the team. Draymond and Kevin Love act as Centers but they're really PFs. (2) Basketball has grown as a sport internationally since 1992. Players like Jokic, Embiid, Donkic, and Giannis are all international players and Top 10 Players in the league today. During the Dream Team days, only Hakeem was an international Top 10 NBA Player. Jordan and the Dream Team helped open up the sport of basketball for the world. (3) A lot of this team's struggles has to do w/ the fact that the U.S. team only had a couple of days of practice compared to a couple of weeks like they usually do.
@@kawaiiafangirl wow that was very well said and described! You have to be in your mid 30s late 40s I can tell you might know a few things about the greatest game ever invented lol

Oh brother. This is exactly why K retired early. He wanted a farewell tour. Coaches retire when they wake up knowing they can’t do the grind. Bobby Knight, Dean Smith, John Thomson, Roy Williams, all the legends had succession plans when they retired but didn’t crave the attention so much that they wanted a season long goodbye tour.
He doesn't want a farewell tour since he's not leaving the program. His main reason, which he stated, was to let future recruits know he won't be there as a coach. 99% of coaches at any point in their career would not do that. Always one miserable person to create a negative to help them feel better about their own miserable mindset and life. Good luck to you

I just love how Ernie stays behind the limelight a bit and just lets them talk. Just a constant professional and all around awesome dude!
Ernie is just a fantastic human being. the combo of him and chuck is pure gold.
Legend in every sense of the word.
TNT should definitely be doing the nba finals
You right Jalen Rose 🤒🤒🤒🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮

Thank u coach k for all your contributions to youth basketball as well as across the nbas later greats. Earlier and Chuck doing great
"There's something wrong with that dude."
🤣🤣🤣Chuck is a national treasure!
Yoo!!! For the first time, chuck said "secondly." Im proud of you sir charles!!! 😆
Yeah he usually says first of all 5 times lol.
Haha!

Amen to that Michael!
still trying to figure out how you get shshefski from Krzyzewski. But best of luck to Mike. Such a class act throughout the years.
Apparently the Kr is silent and zyzwewski is prounounced as shshefski
@@rudycenaronaldo5476 as a polish person, I can assure you it’s not:
K is pronounced like K,

Y is pronounced like “i” in “sid”
Ż is also pronounced like a french “J”
E is pronounced like “Eh”
W is pronounced like a “V”
And I’m pretty sure everyone can pronounce “-SKI”
Krzyż in polish means “cross”, as Poland is a very catholic country, so Krzyżewski would mean “of cross”

What a legend! I don’t watch college basketball, but his impact on international basketball and the way he coached USA stars was something amazing
Man I can't believe Coach k is leaving he's done so much to the game for college basketball. He is the greatest coach of college basketball ever.
yea, he invented basketball just ask him
I brought two towels might be getting double teamed ! 😭😭😭😭 legendary
EJ and Chuck=great hosting duo
MJ the GOAT
🤭....I just love y'all!😂 The best commentator's ever!🤣 🥰
Coach K!1🥰
I could watch these 3 guys tell stories for hours! 🤩 Might need a few extra towels though! lol
enjoyed this show....worth the listen give us more like this
This was a perfect 10/10 episode
YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS, Coach K, Sir Charles, and Big Earn. I Love It!!
Coach k looks amazing for 74

Great episode!
Love coach K
Chuck🤦🏾♂️😂😂😂
Great interview, Chuck - excellent questions brotha!
Great episode, thank you so much! :D
LOVE THESE GUYS 😂✊🏽
His wife’s comment about Grayson Allen and dukes culture was a bar
Pure class, great human being!!!!

Ernie is the GOAT
That's my coach !
Coach’s chuckle at 4:04 is because he knew he was bouta flash that ring to chuck

Barkley you are a legend. But fact is Jordan never played like it was game 7 of finals cause he’s never been ina game 7 In the finals👍🏼🤓😎😂🤣
Duke basketball has put itself in dangerous territory. Having the legend still on campus in the same office is not good for the basketball program. Anytime there’s a blip everyone will ask, “what would Coach K do?“
are u gonna host the NBA finals?
Did he just call the NCAA "Socialistic"? LOL
Weird responses for sure
And then called for a player’s union in the same breath
He getting before anymore pay to play allegations
Bulls need Coach K to build a young and competitive team. Bulls need to redeem their team.
They should still do post-game analysis for the Finals.
Ernie got a sponsor?!
CB 34 IS THE REAL GOAT 👊👊👊👊
29:20 🐐
Have Roy Williams on
Hey shaq you think if the suns win they give chuck a ring....
Goated
'They all became friends'.... even if Charles and Michael not talking anymore.
They need to squash that beef before it's too late. Especially since it's really a petty beef.

Charles you are on the wrong side of this. Think it through.
Hence Coach K said "I'm going to enjoy this year". He'll take his first NBA head coaching position after next year.
No bro hes had offers from many NBA teams for way more then hes making at duke thru the years and always turned them all down. This year will be his last coaching unfortunately.

The dream team: A bunch of American superstars playing against complete nobodies from overseas. Why does everyone talk about them like they beat elite competition?
At the time, basketball wasn't as big outside the U.S as it is now so please cut the b.s
You said it yourself, it wasn't as big...they helped to make it that big. That's why they still get talked about, and made the HOF as a team.✌️
Yeah these are going to be dummy's with millions of dollars can't talk or think.smh this is a prob
Coach K is a hypocrite. He doesn't have any input on what the NCAA does😂... There's a changing of the old guard, and the crybaby that he is ( and coaches) doesn't want to play anymore.
So if I’m an 18 year old kid, my first goal is worry about many jerseys I can sell? I think that’s pathetic for these all star kids.
