wapo.st/3LBOEgJWill not be behind a paywall. The concluding paragraphs are a stunner.

Thank you, PP, for the gift of this article. In the past year I have had a different, but somewhat similar, experience with Coach K as the one that Feinstein ends with here. And I had never met him previously.

In the last year I have learned a lot about Coach K that I did not know before. I now have a better picture of Coach K and believe, on the whole, he is a good man. Not perfect, no one is, but certainly having many good points that he never tried to show to the public. "Well done, Coach K."

Cool story in those final paragraphs.
I believe HC is one of a very small number of schools against which coach K had a losing record

I vaguely recall HC beating Duke at the Meadowlands arena in NJ many years ago. I attended but not sure what year. Probably the early 80’s.
Guess I was wrong about the outcome of that game. It was a long time ago.

I don't think we beat Duke, but I'll look it up and edit this post one way or another. Hope I'm wrong and we did.
(edit). Yes, HC is 0-2 versus the Dukies, 1982 and 2006. HC did beat Bill Foster, the previous Duke coach, at least once: while he was coaching Northwestern.

Coach K was 0-4 against HC while he was the head coach at West Point....so yes, he was 2-4 lifetime vs. the Saders
