Butters’ inclination proved correct. Forty-one years later, Krzyzewski has turned Duke into the bluest of bluebloods, with five national championships, 12 Final Four appearances and 27 ACC regular-season and conference tournament titles combined during his reign.

This is an opinion piece.
For 40 years, Coach Mike Krzyzewski has been pacing the court of Cameron Indoor Stadium.
