First reported by The Boston Globe, USA basketball managing director Jerry Colangelo convinced Coach K  to stay in the job after he led the U.S.A. to the gold medal in Beijing last summer.

“With the success that we had, I would do everything in my power to keep everything intact,” Colangelo told The Associated Press without confirming the decision.

Aside from his busy coaching schedule for Duke University, Coach K also travels frequently around the country giving speeches on leadership and holding success-based workshops for many companies. After looking at his basketball resume, it’s quite obvious he knows a thing or two about being a leader.
