Coach K on Mike Posner

On SIRIUS XM, Posner joins another accomplished Duke luminary, men's basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski, who hosts his own talk show, Basketball and Beyond with Coach K, on SIRIUS XM's Mad Dog Radio channel. While at Duke, Posner produced a song that played in famed Cameron Indoor Stadium to introduce the team before Blue Devils basketball games.

"Duke students are known for balancing their studies with extracurricular activities, but what Mike has done is really extraordinary," said Coach K. "It's terrific to see someone accomplish so much at such a young age and I look forward to having another Blue Devil on our team at SIRIUS XM."
