Krzyzewski returns to alma mater as Army falls to No. 4 Duke

WEST POINT, N.Y. -- The winningest coach in men's basketball doubled as a tour guide Monday. When Mike Krzyzewski and Duke arrived at West Point a day early for its Veterans Day game, they visited some of the academy's historic spots, including Trophy Point.

Many places brought back memories of Krzyzewski's time as a West Point cadet and basketball player under legendary coach Bobby Knight and his first head coaching stop 50 years ago.

As Krzyzewski reflected on his West Point time during a pregame speech Tuesday, it was the people that he remembered. Eleven of his former Army players lined up on the court to salute him.
