One of the most iconic images in Duke Basketball history took place not during a game but rather immediately after the conclusion of the game.
I’m thinking of the epic 1991 Duke-UNLV match in the Final Four. Anderson Hunt misses a desperation 3-pointer, Bobby Hurley grabs the rebound and the celebration ensues.
Until the camera pans to Mike Krzyzewski, hands palm down, a scolding look on his face.
This was a semifinal game, after all. Duke still had work to do.
I’m pretty sure Krzyzewski would have had the same reaction if Duke’s title game was against pretty much anyone.
