Mike Krzyzewski isn't coaching for the first time in 48 years, but that doesn't mean he has retired. Despite being away from the sidelines, the Hall of Fame coach has been busy with speeches and his "Basketball and Beyond with Coach K" show on SiriusXM satellite radio. Krzyzewski watched his first game post-retirement at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Feb. 14, when Notre Dame faced Duke. Even though Coach K isn't at the games, he said he has watched every game this season and talks frequently with his successor, Jon Scheyer.

Duke’s famously rowdy students have spent weeks camping out and getting ready for Saturday’s annual rivalry game with North Carolina.

And everyone from successor Jon Scheyer to the “Cameron Crazies" remain determined to preserve the fearsome homecourt advantage that is part of Krzyzewski’s legacy. The Blue Devils won 88% of their home games in 42 seasons under Coach K. Scheyer says he wants Duke fans to feel that "they're right alongside us in this journey.”
