DURHAM, N.C. -- Nearly 100 former players, including Duke legends Grant Hill, Jason Williams, Shane Battier and Christian Laettner lined the court at Cameron Indoor Stadium to welcome coach Mike Krzyzewski for the final time Saturday, as the Blue Devils wrapped their regular season -- and the legendary coach's career on his home court -- against rival North Carolina.
Cameron Indoor might have rolled out an official red carpet for the affair.
While the game itself held little intrigue in the standings -- Duke has already clinched its first solo ACC regular-season title since 2006 -- the demand for tickets to see Krzyzewski coach his final home game was astronomical, with the average price nearly $6,000 according to StubHub.
