Coach K is the winningest coach in the history of college basketball. He just got another signature win before they hit a speed bump against Ohio State. Either way, it doesn't seem like he's really about to leave the game forever. We still talk about Bobby Knight leaving IU for 20 years. Where is the fanfare for coach K.
