Best moments from Mike Krzyzewskis farewell home game for the Duke Blue Devils

The Duke Blue Devils’ final home men’s basketball game of the regular season Saturday is the last time head coach Mike Krzyzewski will roam the sidelines of Cameron Indoor Stadium. Fittingly, his send-off comes against Duke’s rival: the North Carolina Tar Heels (6 p.m. ET on ESPN).

Fans who were able to secure tickets to the game (the average price of admission was reportedly over $5,000) will see as many as 96 former Blue Devils players in attendance. Duke has invited every player the retiring 75-year-old Krzyzewski has coached during his 42 seasons at the school to his final home contest. Former stars such as Christian Laettner, Grant Hill, Grayson Allen and others are in attendance to honor their former coach.

That’s only the beginning of the festivities taking place Saturday night in Durham, North Carolina. Here are some of the best moments from Coach K’s final contest at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Friends, colleagues and former players also recounted their Coach K memories.
