He spent five years at Army beforehand and has 73 wins with them. He is the winningest coach in college basketball history, but was actually the second coach to win 1,000 with one school as Jim Boeheim accomplished that last season as he's spent his entire head coaching career with Syracuse and got his 1,000th win there last year.
Krzyzewski also has more wins than legendary coaches like Adolph Rupp, Dean Smith, Jim Calhoun, Eddie Sutton and Rick Pitino.

1,000 wins at Duke. Countless memories. Endless passion.
