An interesting question sort of came up about Duke’s trip to Chapel Hill Saturday: did UNC acknowledge Mike Krzyzewski’s final trip and was that, in fact, an obligation?
Well first of all: no. Not really.
It’s a nice thing to do and all, but no one owes it. You’d expect it from Pitt and Notre Dame, since Jeff Capel and Mike Brey owe their careers to Coach K, but no one is required to bow and curtsy.
And honestly, we don’t think he much cares. Maybe he does. But it seems secondary at best.
And second, UNC did apparently acknowledge him in the pregame moments.
