Mike Krzyzewski is coming out of retirement and heading to the NBA — as an adviser, not a coach. The league said Wednesday that Krzyzewski, the Hall of Famer and all-time men's college Division I coaching wins leader, is its new special adviser to basketball operations. The former Duke coach "will provide counsel to the league office, NBA team executives and other leaders across the league on a host of issues related to the game," the league said. "This is a tremendous opportunity to deepen my connection to the NBA and participate in conversations about further strengthening the league and the game," Krzyzewski said. Krzyzewski turned down opportunities to join the NBA as a coach multiple times during his Duke career.
