DURHAM, N.C. -- Nearly 100 former players, including Duke legends Grant Hill, Jason Williams, Shane Battier and Christian Laettner, lined the court at Cameron Indoor Stadium to welcome coach Mike Krzyzewski for the final time Saturday, as the Blue Devils wrapped their regular season -- and the legendary coach's career on his home court -- against rival North Carolina.
Cameron Indoor might have rolled out an official red carpet for the affair.
While the game itself held little intrigue in the standings -- Duke has already clinched its first solo ACC regular-season title since 2006 -- the demand for tickets to see Krzyzewski coach his final home game was astronomical, with the average price nearly $6,000 according to StubHub.
Beyond the 96 former players in attendance to see Krzyzewski off, a bevy of stars from sports and Hollywood was in the stands, too.
Fans roared as comedian Jerry Seinfeld and NBA commissioner Adam Silver, sitting next to each other, waved on the video board. Sitcom stars Ken Jeong and Retta sat courtside along the baseline. Toronto Raptors coach Nick Nurse, former Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki and Hall of Fame receiver Terrell Owens were all in attendance, too.
But it was less the celebrities who stole the moment than the crowd -- a packed house more than an hour before tipoff, roaring with energy -- and the extended Duke family who stole the show for Krzyzewski.
The former players formed a tunnel leading from one corner of the baseline to midcourt, and as Krzyzewski was announced, the crowd erupted. The 75-year-old, who coached his first game here in November 1980, made his way through the phalanx of former players, tapping each on the chest, bumping fists or sharing a hug. Many held cell phones aloft, recording the moment for posterity.
After Krzyzewski made his way to the end of the line, the group gathered at midcourt for a photo of the family reunion.

Memphis is reportedly facing four Level I and two Level II NCAA violations stemming from an 18-month-long investigation into the Tigers' program.
The Daily Memphian obtained the Notice of Allegations and an amended Notice of Allegations from the Independent Accountability Resolution Process (IARP) investigation. An infractions case involving former Memphis center James Wiseman was the first case accepted by the IARP in the spring of 2020.
Memphis head coach Penny Hardaway is the only person named in the notice of allegations, according to the report. It says Hardaway was involved in at least one of the Level I violations and the two Level II violations. The NCAA alleges Hardaway "failed to demonstrate that he promoted an atmosphere of compliance within the men's basketball program."
The Memphis Commercial Appeal, which also obtained the documents, reported that the investigation extended beyond Wiseman.
Wiseman, the former No. 1 recruit who committed to play for Hardaway and Memphis during the 2019-20 season, was suspended 12 games in November 2019 for two violations: his mother accepting $11,500 from Hardaway in the summer of 2017 and Wiseman playing in three games while ineligible.
Memphis appealed the ruling, but the Division I Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement upheld the decision.
The Daily Memphian obtained Memphis' response to the allegations, which included this statement:
"The case presents alleged infractions involving the University of Memphis (redacted) that are overcharged and combined with non-violations, accusations involving a separate sport (football) that has not been charged, information UM self-reported and pandemic-related events over which the parties had no control," it said. "The facts do not demonstrate a lack of institutional control, a failure to monitor, a failure to cooperate or a lack of (redacted) responsibility."
Memphis said Wiseman had no knowledge of the payment, which was used to cover moving expenses when Wiseman's family moved from Nashville to Memphis. At the time of the alleged payment, Hardaway was the head coach at East High School (Tennessee) and ran the Team Penny grassroots program. Because he donated $1 million to Memphis in 2008 to build a sports hall of fame, Hardaway was considered a booster.
Wiseman played in three games before Memphis declared him ineligible, but he ultimately left one month later to prepare for the NBA draft.
