“We are excited to continue our long-standing relationship with SiriusXM,” said Krzyzewski. “The show has given us a platform to discuss important issues. More than that, it has provided me with an amazing opportunity to learn from some of the most successful professionals on the planet for 14 seasons. Informing our listeners, and hopefully entertaining them along the way, has always been our priority and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for season 15 and beyond.”
“Coach K’s exceptional insight, and his tremendous talent as an interviewer, have made Basketball and Beyond a must-listen show unlike anything else on the air,” said Scott Greenstein, President and Chief Content Officer, SiriusXM. “Fifteen seasons on SiriusXM is a wonderful milestone and we are incredibly proud to continue to be Coach K’s broadcast home, delivering his show to listeners nationwide for years to come.”
