Free Gas Cards Coming / Coach K's Chicago / Trash Buddy / Daryl Hall

For Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski, the homegrown Hall of Famer, the road to greatness will always be rooted in Chicago.

Before he became known as "Coach K," Krzyzewski was just Mickey from Christopher Columbus Elementary in Chicago's Ukrainian Village.

"Mickey" will lead his team to one last Final Four before retiring with 13 semi-final appearances, the three Olympic gold medals and at least five college basketball national championships.

Six ... if Duke goes all the way in the NCAA Tournament.
