That did work out very well. The other great thing is that the team was able to beat a good Michigan State team to get 903.

Vigil over, great win!!!

Great to see K with Bobby Knight, and his brother. Loved his interaction with his granddaughters, too.

Hard to believe he hit this, given how he started at Duke. Tom Butters deserves major credit, because most schools wouldn't have the faith and determination to stick with an unknown kid with a losing record like Tom did.

Congrats, Mike and Mickie!

Believe it or not, there is precedent in North Carolina for such a thing: NC 3 was moved to Cabarrus Country and named in honor of Dale Earnhardt.

Although I have a hunch that K's final win total will end up being some secondary road in Bladen County or somesuch.

There are a couple of places in North Carolina where highway numbers allude to Duke basketball. There's a Hurley/Laettner intersection of highways 11 and 32, and near Mount Airy, a reminder of the Greatest College Basketball Game Ever Played where 104 and 103 meet.

Ah, the 3-136 switcheroo. 3 used to be a little no-count road off US 158 in Currituck County. Adam Prince, the king of North Carolina road geeks, wrote a whole article on it, IIRC.

Congratulations, Coach. It couldn't have happened to a better man, or a better coach. And to do it against Izzo, one of the other "good" guys in the game, must have made it even more special.

Now on to 1000 and 5. ;)

I know y'all are used to this kind of behavior but I am still amazed and in awe with the class and, I don't know, let's say rightfully prioritized action, maybe? Coach Krzyzewski goes first to Izzo as is protocol, then The General, then his family. The interaction with Mickie (who just keeps getting better looking) and the girls and grandkids and his brother was touching and telling of what really matters to the man. What a great and humble man. I'm going to go read "Leading with The Heart" again...

There are no good words to describe my appreciation for Coach K. Not only has he brought tremendous joy to all of us Duke basketball fans by winning...again and again and again...but he has represented our alma mater with class and dignity. Unlike the fans of some other schools with successful basketball programs, we can always point to our program with pride and say that our team wins, and they do it the right way. Coach has showed how to succeed and how to do it with honor. I can point to him as a true role model for my kids. He is, simply, the greatest, and he's a great man.

As I suspected, I feel my words are failing me. To summarize, then, inadequately, thank you Coach K. You're the greatest, and you make it very, very easy to be a Duke basketball fan.

Does anyone have a good working list of which Duke former players were actually at the game? Obviously included those from whom the press took quotes, such as Battier, Hill, Hurley, Brand (not to mention Bilas and Jay Williams in the press itself). But I have heard there were "dozens", but never seen a list.

Roshown McLeod is back there, and I talked to Matt Christensen, who I believe said he had come through from China (!) en route to Boston for the occasion. Matt, by the way, is a total class act, and one of the nicest people, not just players, I ever met at Duke.

If this is of interest, I attended last night and wrote this (http://dimemag.com/2011/11/game-of-thrones-coach-k-pads-his-legacy-at-msg/) for Dime's web site about the occasion.

Julius just doesn't learn, does he?

What was his quote before (?) his last (?) game at CIS? Something like "I don't need some pimple-faced kids with 3.9 GPAs telling me about basketball."

What was the result? 7 points, 5 PF and 7 TO, IIRC. And multiple cheers of "Juuullliiiuuus" from the Crazies.

Priceless.

Congratulations Coach K! 903 is not as important a number as the number of championships in conference and nationally, but its a milestone that can not be overlooked. I have watched thirty years of Duke Basketball and I can't tell you how much it has meant to me. Yes there has been heartbreak. But there have been many more moments of celebration. Every tear of sadness is always followed by tears of joy. I have given the Duke men's basketball program my undying support. I have lost my voice for days, hid in seclusion for days, screamed at the top of my lungs in times of exploding joy and gut wrenching hate. What I can say that no one wearing the baby blue can say, is that you Coach K have always had your teams play harder night in and night out more so than any other program in the country in your time at Duke. You have gotten the most you can out of each player that has worn a Blue Devil jersey. Maximum efforts and maximum results year in and year out. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Congratulations. We are more than a fan base, we are a family. Let's go Duke!

GO TO HELL CAROLINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In addition to all those guys we mentioned, I recognize:

Billy King
Dahntay Jones
Dennard
Alaa
Brand

Older folks want to take a stab at the rest of those pictures?

In the first picture, anyone know who is the guy standing between Billy King and Nate in the front row? And who is all the way on the right, in front of Collins?

Dude I thought you were being serious...do something to make it clear you're being sarcastic next time so I don't bother to read any part of the article! ;)

Of course, if he had his way and K took the record from 1995, K WOULD have broken Knight's record in the tourney last year.

At this point a few more losses aren't going to tarnish his legacy at all, but four more wins could do wonders for his final numbers depending on when he retires.

Next.

Congrats Coach K. This 903 win could not have happened to a better coach and a better person in you. What an honor for you and Coach Knight share your 903 win together last nigh and all of your former players.

Here's a video of a bunch of people sending their congratulations to Coach K. This ranges from guys like Ricky Price (who I don't even remember the last time I saw) to President Obama:
