It was a week of anticipation, excitement and reflection leading up to the moment doors opened inside Cameron Indoor Stadium for Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski’s last home game with the Blue Devils.
Krzyzewski, one who does not typically let the magnitude of a prominent moment get to him, was completely opposite when he was greeted in true fashion by the Cameron Crazies in the Duke’s student section and dozens of his former players ahead of the Blue Devils’ game against their longstanding rival North Carolina.
As Coach K emerged from the tunnel inside the arena to a loud roar from fans, he shook the hands of his former players, smiled, laughed and choked up as he watched the intro video to commemorate his last home game with the program.
