NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mike Krzyzewski, head coach of the Duke University Blue Devils and the USA Basketball Men's National Team, will debut
the 10th season of his weekly SiriusXM show,
Basketball and Beyond with Coach K, tomorrow, October 23 (6:00 pm
ET) on SiriusXM College Sports Nation, channel 91.
Coach K will be joined on the season premiere by Kansas Jayhawks
head basketball coach Bill Self and
Denver Nuggets/U.S. Men's National Team forward Kenneth Faried. Throughout the season, a
new edition of Basketball and Beyond will air every Thursday
on SiriusXM College Sports Nation, which is available on satellite
radios, on the SiriusXM Internet Radio App and at
SiriusXM.com. Each show will also be available on SiriusXM On
Demand.
"It is amazing that we have been part of the SiriusXM team for a
decade," said Krzyzewski. "Working side by side with my partner
Dave Sims, we have tried to deliver
compelling conversations to our listeners over the past nine
seasons. I am certain our 10th year will be no different. We're
very proud of the show and we thoroughly enjoy doing it each week
throughout college basketball season. We are excited to get started
this week with two outstanding guests in Coach Self and
Kenneth Faried."
"We're honored and excited to be embarking on a 10th
season of Basketball and Beyond," said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM's President and Chief
Content Officer. "Coach K is one of the most exceptional
figures of our time. To have him on SiriusXM all these years
sharing his perspective and inspiring people, in sports and in
their daily lives, is truly special."
Basketball and Beyond features Coach K discussing a wide
array of subjects and interviewing successful people from sports,
entertainment, government and more. Some of the high profile
guests who have joined Krzyzewski on the program over the past nine
seasons include former NBA Commissioner David Stern, General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of
Staff, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, fellow coaching greats
Bob Knight, John Madden, Joe
Torre, Pat Summitt, Bill
Belichick and many others.
Over 39 years as a head basketball coach, 34 of them at
Duke University, Coach K has built one
of the most extraordinary coaching resumes in sports history.
He is the all-time winningest head coach in NCAA Men's Division I
basketball history with 983 victories, and has led Duke to four NCAA Championships, 13 ACC Tournament
championships and 11 Final Four appearances. He was inducted into
the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2001.
Krzyzewski has been involved with USA Basketball as a coach on and off since
1979, when he started out as an assistant to Bob Knight. Over that time he has helped
lead the U.S. to 10 gold medals, two silver medals and two bronze
medals. Since 2005, when USA
Basketball managing director Jerry
Colangelo selected Krzyzewski as the Senior Men's National
Team head coach, the USA is an
extraordinary 75-1 in major international competitions.
In addition to Coach K's program, SiriusXM carries live
play-by-play coverage of Duke
basketball games throughout the season. SiriusXM is the
leading broadcaster of live college sporting events and offers play
by play from the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Big East, Pac 12, SEC,
