    This one is great, "The Class That Saved Coach K, about the class of 1986 (but really about building his program at Duke): https://www.espn.com/watch/player?id...bab125&lang=en

    Or, this one, an ESPN "Battle Lines" special about the Duke-Kentucky 1992 "greatest game ever." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHJhgS2egMY

    Or, this one, ""DUKE 91 & 92: Back to Back", https://www.facebook.com/DukeUniv/po...9611910145497/

    The ESPN 30 for 30s about the Fab Five, about NC St.'s 1983 national title, and about the death of Len Bias all have some good Duke-adjacent content.

    So does this one about the 1974 ACC Championship between NC St. and Maryland, which was probably the "greatest game ever" until displaced by Duke-Kentucky, 1992. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6282982/

    This covers most of it, although I would throw in "I Hate Christian Laettner" in there as it is my favorite Duke basketball film. http://www.espn.com/30for30/film/_/p...istianlaettner

    “Full Circle” from 1998 if you can find it. One of my classmates made it and it is quite good. Have it on VHS somewhere, just no machine to play it on.

    check out the one called 82-50....it's a bit difficult to find, but it's noteworthy

    Wasn't there an E:60 on Hurley? If that's the one I'm thinking of I thought it was excellent, but I don't ever see it re-run on ESPN.

    Sounds like it’s ripe for transferring to a more modern medium!

    Bump for Coach K Retirement

    I noticed next few days the evening with coach K documentary/show is airing like all day on the ACC network. If you are like me and have had a tough time watching it, I'm excited to finally see it. I'm sure similar stuff may air as well.
