NEW YORK, Oct. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Mike
Krzyzewski, the Hall of Fame head coach of the Duke University Blue Devils and this year's Olympic
Gold Medal-winning USA Basketball
Men's National Team, will host the season premiere of his weekly
SiriusXM show, Basketball and Beyond with Coach K, this
Thursday, October 20 (6:00 pm ET) on SiriusXM College Sports
Nation.
Coach K's guest on the season opening episode will be San
Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg
Popovich, who will succeed Krzyzewski as head coach of the
USA Basketball Men's National Team
for the 2017-20 quadrennium.
After this week's debut and throughout the season, a new edition
of Basketball and Beyond will air every Thursday
(6:00 pm ET) on SiriusXM College
Sports Nation (channel 84), which is available nationwide on
satellite radios and on the SiriusXM app. Episodes are also
available to subscribers through SiriusXM On Demand.
Basketball and Beyond is entering its 12th
season on SiriusXM and features Coach K and co-host Dave Sims interviewing successful people from
many different walks of life, including sports, pop culture,
politics and more. Some of the high profile guests who joined
Krzyzewski on the program last season included MLB Commissioner
Rob Manfred, Villanova head coach Jay
Wright, Washington Nationals star Bryce Harper, Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany, Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kyrie
Irving, 2016 Daytona 500 winner Denny
Hamlin and many others.
"We're always excited to launch a new season with Coach K.
The insight, knowledge and experiences that Mike and his
special guests share with SiriusXM listeners every week is
extraordinary, and unlike anything else in radio," said
Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM's
President and Chief Content Officer.
Over more than four decades as a head basketball coach, 36 years
at Duke University, Coach K has built
one of the greatest coaching resumes in sports history. A
member of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame since 2001, he is
the all-time winningest head coach in NCAA Men's Division I
basketball history with 1043 victories, and he led Duke to its fifth NCAA Championship title in
2015. This summer Krzyzewski coached the USA Basketball Men's National Team to its
third consecutive Olympic gold medal in Rio. Under Coach K as
national team head coach, USA
Basketball compiled an 88-1 overall record. The latest championship
was the 11th gold medal won by the U.S. with Coach K as either a
head coach or assistant coach.
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,
