from The Family Archives
We're not going to make a joke about being unable to spell or pronounce Mike Krzyzewski, because let's face it: it's been done to death. The man had a 40+ year career and is the winningest college basketball coach in history, so there's been plenty of opportunity for Polish jokes in that time. Besides, Coach K is nothing to joke about. Once you enter a pantheon, regardless of the type, you're officially beyond mockery, and Coach K is certainly in the pantheon of college basketball coaches. For proof, consult Ian's book. He seems to know what he's talking about.
