Meet Mike Krzyzewski, Retiree

Even without his whistle, it turns out that the greatest hoops coach of all time still likes to let you know who's in charge

Meet Mike Krzyzewski, Retiree

EXACTLY 142 DAYS AFTER COACH K OFFICIALLY BECAME MR. K FOR the first time in nearly 50 years, Mike Krzyzewski is telling me about his MasterClass. John Legend did one! So did Robin Roberts. The next day, he'll jet off to Vegas, speak at a convention, play video poker, and take his wife, Mickie, out to eat. When Krzyzewski returns to Durham, you'll find the man in his yard, pruning trees and handing out kibbles to his puppy named... wait for it...Coach-who, of fucking course, "is actually a really good athlete." Retirement! It happens. Even for a guy who won 1,202 college basketball games.

"In retirement, although I'm not retired," Krzyzewski, 75, clarifies, "I'm doing all the things I want to do."

Now Trump is back on the ballot, and the pressure is mounting from all sides. Can he once again deliver a fair election?Brad Raffensperger is rattling off statistics while we wait. It's just after 4:00 P.M. on Tuesday, May 21, and the Georgia secretary of state is standing outside a small conference room in an underground bunker on the east side of Atlanta, where he and his staff gather on election days. A couple dozen workers are spread around an open seating area, quietly fielding phone calls and staring at their computer monitors. With its fluorescent lights and gray carpet, the place has the muted feel of a regional sales office. The secretary, though, is energized. As the official in charge of overseeing elections in his state, Raffensperger is always ready to dive into the details.

You knew some vote-or-die, do-it-to-honor the-sacrifices-of-the-ancestors, you-can't-complain-if-youdon't-participate Black folks. But you also knew scores who didn't trouble themselves with participating at all. Into your 30s you felt somewhere between those philosophical poles, among those who, each election cycle, needed convincing that their vote mattered a good gotdamn.
