Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski moved to tears by tribute celebrating his career ahead of Final Four

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski moved to tears by tribute celebrating his career ahead of Final Four

TBS aired a nearly 10-minute tribute to Mike Krzyzewski during Saturday’s NCAA men’s Final Four pregame show.

The format was similar to the John Madden tribute that FOX aired in December. It had the Duke men’s basketball coach sitting in a chair watching large screens of clips with people talking about him.

Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo was one of the people in the video. Several of Coach K’s former Duke players – Carlos Boozer, Grant Hill, Bobby Hurley, Christian Laettner, Jon Scheyer, and Zion Williamson – were included. USA Basketball team players, like Carmelo Anthony, James Harden and Kevin Durant, were also included.

Krzyzewski got emotional when his daughters and wife, Mickie, spoke near the end of the video.

“Get chills man,” Krzyzewski said about halfway through it.

Krzyzewski is retiring at the end of the 2021-22 season. He’s been the Duke head coach since 1980.
