Athletic director Tom Butters said Sunday the coach will return for the 1995-96 season.
On Jan. 10, Krzyzewski was released from the hospital with instructions to put his basketball and administrative responsibilities aside and concentrate strictly on his recovery. Originally, the school said he would not return for several weeks.
When Krzyzewski left, the Blue Devils were 9-3. The team, now coached by assistant Pete Gaudet, has lost six straight games, its longest losing streak in 56 years. Gaudet has coached five games.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
