Congratulations Kansas Jayhawks NCAA Men's Basketball Champions

 The Kansas Jayhawks won the 2022 NCAA Men's Championship storming back from a big half time deficit. A fitting conclusion to a classic March Madness Tournament. The championship game pitted two Blue Blood programs with North Carolina and Kansas. The Tar Heels went to the championship game led by a first-year coach in Hubert Davis.

                                             Highlights from the title game...


The tournament had a 15th seed march to the Final 8 with the Saint Peter's Peacocks. Kansas bested Villanova to reach the title game, while UNC topped their archrivals Duke in Coach Krzyzewski's final game. Seven months until the next season starts.

Blogging from A to Z 2018: K is for Coack K

Coach K sounds like a solid choice to blog about on the blogging from A to Z Challenge. He is a basketball coach so that would fit with my letter C post and he is an author of a book I read so that is related to a couple of posts.


Who is Coach K? Mike Kryzewski the head basketball coach for the Duke University Blue Devils. As a coach he was 1100 games which is more than any other college basketball coach. His teams have won the National Championship five times.

I read a lot of business books. It is what my degrees are in and I do work in business. Anybody who has read my blog for a while knows I enjoy sports as well. Sometimes a book fits a business topic and also fits another interest of mine. This creates in my mind a double win for me! Mike Kryzewski's book "Leading with the Heart" was one of those books I read last summer. I learned a lot more about Coach K, there was some good leadership advice and a lot about how he operates.

Leading with the Heart: Coach K's Successful Strategies for Basketball, Business, and Life


The legendary coach has authored at least five other books and if I ran across another book by him I would likely read it.

Join me tomorrow as A to Z challenge continues!
