 [MUSIC PLAYING] [AUDIO LOGO] CROWD: Go Duke! Go Duke! Go Duke! Go Duke! Go Duke! [MUSIC PLAYING] MIKE KRZYZEWSKI: We're playing North Carolina. The Duke-North Carolina game is always like this amazing game on its own-- --and now it's the last game of the regular season. My last game in Cameron. CROWD: Let's go Devils. MIKE KRZYZEWSKI: I wasn't emotional about it. We played and we had a good first half, then had the lead in the second half, and then we were very poor. They were great in the last 10 minutes. ANNOUNCER: He's got it at big time. There was that middle ball screen, now a switch. Manek launches a 3. - Then they won. ANNOUNCER: On Mike Krzyzewski's final night coaching in this arena and they hand the Blue Devils a loss. MIKE KRZYZEWSKI: And they deserved to win.

MIKE KRZYZEWSKI: I am the alphabet. ANNOUNCER: Duke Has won its first national championship. The first time in two decades college basketball has a repeat champion. Duke is the king of the dance 2010. - I got chills. Let's go, man. [MUSIC PLAYING] I think leadership is the least hot occupation that there is in the world, but it's the occupation that transcends every occupation. If you're in medicine, law, you name it, you're going to do better if you have good leadership. A lot of people think the leader is the head of a company, the head coach.
