Summary of Ian O'Connor's Coach K

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 The neighborhood around Leavitt and Augusta Boulevard was home to many of Krzyzewski’s relatives. They were the grandchildren of Polish immigrants who firmly believed in an honest day’s work and in the American dream that suggested they could someday have lives like those of the wealthy people they labored for.

#2 Mike and his brother, Bill, were raised by their mother, Emily, and father, William. They were both raised Catholic, and they understood that the teachers and priests were always right. They did not get into trouble very often.

#3 Mike Krzyzewski, the basketball coach, was a member of the Columbian family. They met on summer mornings at the schoolyard, played sports for three hours, stopped in at the neighborhood social center, and then returned home for lunch and maybe a quick viewing of Bozo’s Circus on WGN.

#4 The Weber team was made up of mostly Columbo kids, and they were always willing to play with them. They were a gang in name only, and harmless.
