The first two seasons at Duke were disappointing, but over the next few years Coach K made quite a remarkable turnaround. In 1984 Krzyzewski led his Blue Devils to the NCAA tournament for the first time. In 1986 Krzyzewski's Blue Devils got to the Final Four and came one game of winning the championship. Within that year, they had played more games than any other team in the history of college basketball. With five seniors graduating, many critics expected an immediate decline in Duke's basketball winnings, but Krzyzewski's 1987 Devils won 24 games and made it to the Sweet 16, losing to Indiana, who went on to win the national championship.

PA253 Legal Ethics | Unit 3 Assignment | | Monet Braud June 30, 2015 | In 2008, a man named Alton Logan was released from prison after serving 26 years in prison for the 1982 slaying of a security guard at a Chicago McDonald’s. That fact alone is shocking enough, but add to that, Alton Logan was innocent, and the statement becomes unbelievable. But even more unbelievable is that two lawyers, Dale Coventry and Jamie Kunz, knew who the real killer was and remained silent. In 1982, they watched while Logan was tried, convicted, and sentenced to life in prison. Dale Coventry and Jamie Kunz were the lawyers of the actual killer, Andrew Wilson.
