Coach K's Buzzer Beaters on Duke Blue Planet
A new video on Duke Blue Planet puts together footage of the classic Duke buzzer beaters in the K years, leading up to Austin's shot followed, of course, by Christian Laettner's (which may actually be the most famous shot in college hoops at this point). They did a really nice job with it, showing the shots and then a nice sequence of team, coach, and fan reactions. Great fun to watch.

We are fortunate and blessed
My entire family is Carolina, and I am sure that the heels have their own version of this.
But it is NOT as special. We are blessed to have kept the same coach, in an era where so many chase the dollar and the better deal, through 30+ years of expansion and changes. A coach who keeps producing men who make miracle after miracle. I'm 33 years old, and I wasn't conscious of b-ball until around the Laettner era, because I was old enough then to decide I was going to pull for Duke. I love our team, and despite my doom-saying from time to time, I will be buried in a royal blue coffin.
We are as lucky as we can hope to be, that our fan base produces videos, on a pro level like that one, that we can enjoy, save, and link to and watch any time we want.
My one question is... Does the missed Butler shot count as one of these? Because my heart still stops two years later.
