National Champs!

The too-perfect basketball story with the too-perfect ending is still available on DVD. The real celebration for the new national champion — that's taking place on Tobacco Road. Kyle Singler scored 19 points and Brian Zoubek rebounded Gordon Hayward's miss with 3.6 seconds left Monday night to help Duke beat Butler 61-59, ending the tiny underdog's try for a "Hoosiers" sequel one win short of the Hollywood ending. The Bulldogs had a chance to win it at the end in an amazing sequence that defined this tournament. Gordon Hayward's half-court shot at the buzzer went flying, thudded off the backboard and rim, and out and most of the crowd of 70,930 gasped, "Ohhhh." So close

Duke, Coach K Back in Final Four

Duke and Coach K are back in the Final Four, although it's going to be a new experience to this group of Blue Devils. Nolan Smith scored a career-high 29 points, Jon Scheyer sank five 3-pointers and added 20 and top-seeded Duke restored some order to the topsy-turvy NCAA tournament on Sunday with a 78-71 win over Baylor in the South Regional final. The Blue Devils (33-5) are back in the national semifinals for the first time since 2004, a six-year drought that was the longest since Mike Krzyzewski made his first Final Four in 1986.

At 63, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski has reinvented himself, program as chance for another title arrives

Mike Krzyzewski doesn’t have to look very far to feel old before the national title game.

The Duke coach and his family had an Easter egg hunt in their hotel suite Sunday, just like they did during their first Final Four 25 years ago. But this time, his six grandchildren were hunting the eggs, not his daughters.

The coach on the other bench for Butler, 33-year-old Brad Stevens, is much closer in age to his players than to Krzyzewski. Can the iconic Duke head coach even remember what it was like at that age?

“I do remember when I was 33,” Coach K replied during a press conference Sunday. “Do you?”

Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski triumphs through staying power

Krzyzewski became a coaching legend the old-fashioned way — by staying at one school for three decades. A Duke victory Monday night over Butler would give him his fourth national title, moving him past Bob Knight and into a second-place tie with Adolph Rupp on all-time coaches’ list.

There is no one way to establish a legacy.

You have win-and-run nomads like Larry Brown, who can’t sit still in a chair for 10 minutes. Yet, Brown has won titles in the NCAA and the NBA and could, in two weeks, take your ragtag local youth team and win the YMCA title.

Coach K Quotes

  • "The truth is that many people set rules to keep from making decisions. Not me. I don’t want to be a manager or a dictator. I want to be a leader—and leadership is ongoing, adjustable, flexible, and dynamic. As such, leaders have to maintain a certain amount of discretion."
