As Duke fans, watching the news break of Mike Krzyzewski’s retirement was pretty personal. He’s always seemed like someone we know very well even though we don’t know him at all, having only spoken to him a couple of times over the years (Boswell is a different story there). We seriously doubt he has any idea who any of us are except for Barry and Jim.
So we’ve processed the news in a different way than other fan bases might and have covered his retirement plan with more affection than most sites.
Not that we’d expect UNC, Kentucky or Maryland fans to genuflect or anything but you get our point.
