Duke’s staff left Krzyzewski’s typical seat open during their game against Boston College.

Maybe it’s overkill, but Coach K obviously demands a huge amount of respect around Durham, including from the coaching staff. He is fine, mind you. His surgery was a success and he’ll probably be out a few weeks, but the expectation is he’ll be back in his vacant seat before the season is over.
