After 42 years at Duke, what will Mike Krzyzewski remember most?
The players, the national championships? Coaching against Dean, Jimmy V, Lefty, Roy and outlasting them all? A night at an Atlanta Denny’s in 1983? His last game?
There were the dark days in 1995 when he had to step aside as head coach, done in by the after-effects of back surgery and exhaustion, maybe unsettled by thoughts of how Jim Valvano, the father of three daughters, once had it all as a college coach and won a national championship with N.C. State and was dead of cancer at 47, gone too soon.
