Daily News | Coach K’s legacy at Duke will long outlive the defeats, and the critics who envied his greatness
, a testament both to the program he’d built and the reality that confronts any builder. However great your talent, however great your game plan, there are nights where the other guys will be better.
For the final 10 minutes, that is how it went, Duke freshmen Paolo Banchero and Trevor Keels exchanging heavyweight blows with North Carolina sophomore Caleb Love. When the final media timeout arrived with 3:32 left, the count was even at 67-67. Love’s dagger aside, the two most pertinent plot points in the game’s closing seconds were trips to the foul line. First, sophomore center Mark Williams missed a pair of free throws that could have given Duke a 76-75 lead with 46.7 seconds left. Then, with 10.4 seconds remaining and North Carolina up 79-76, Keels was at the line with a chance to guarantee his team a game-tying possession, only to miss the second free throw.
Success comes with trappings that includes a big old target for the cynics. Throughout a weekend that was billed as the grand finale to Krzyzewski’s storied career, you could hear the snickers from the grandstands, the cries of self-aggrandizement. Yet the ultimate judge of a man’s legacy is the permanence of what he builds.
