DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski is entering yet another hall of fame.

He was being inducted into the Duke Athletics Hall of Fame on Friday night along with Bobby Hurley, the point guard of his first two national championship teams with the Blue Devils.

Krzyzewski’s selection came after the school’s rules were changed to make active personnel eligible for induction. Krzyzewski quipped that before he became aware of the rule change, “I was wondering if (athletic director) Kevin White was trying to get me out of here.”

Krzyzewski, a Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer, enters his 32nd season at Duke with 900 career wins, two shy of matching Bob Knight for the Division I men’s coaching record.
