DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Mike Krzyzewski says he not only supports the Atlantic Coast Conference’s recent expansion to 14 teams, he wouldn’t mind if the league kept growing.

The Hall of Fame Duke coach said Wednesday during media day that it “seems to me that if you’re going to go 14, then you should go 16.”

The ACC last month announced it would add Pittsburgh and Syracuse. It’s not clear when they will begin playing, but when they do, Krzyzewski expects at least an 18-game ACC schedule. ACC teams currently play 16 league games per season.

If the ACC stops there, Krzyzewski says he would a two-division setup with seven teams each and a 19-game conference schedule in which schools would play divisional opponents twice and cross-divisional opponents once.
