NCAA Basketball: Duke at Elon University — Dec 21, 2016; Greensboro, NC, USA; Duke Blue Devils head coach Mike Krzyzewski argues a call in the first half against the Elon Phoenix at Greensboro Coliseum. Duke defeated Elon 72-61.

Coach K will be out for about a month following back surgery to remove a fragment of a herniated disk.

He’ll coach against Georgia Tech before that.

On the bright side, it looks like he learned his lesson in 1995 and isn’t trying to bull his way back. But it won't make the season any easier.
