Yeah, not sad to see the back of coach K. I think it somewhat chapped my hide that Duke wrapped itself in the academic reputation of the school, while the basketball team has essentially minimal academic qualifications.

There are a lot of big name schools having near-zero qualifications for their super-stud athletes and touting their academics. They just never had K for a MBB coach. He has more than earned the plaudits and bouquets, not to mention the true reverence of his former athletes. I'm just gratified that a first-year HC will play for the championship against a top-drawer opponent.
