Sad to see him go. But I like the way they are doing it, announcing it early, already naming the coach in waiting and getting prepared. Hope they have a good season.

Timing is every thing. His legacy might have been better served by retiring after the 2014-15 national championship, but his leaving now has a blueprint for Duke's future.

Roy Williams and now Coach K...

I remember the fans were screaming for his head in the early 80s. Will remember his "Five working as one" talk to the teams

Time to relax...go fishing...just get away from everything. Works for me...lol
