Mike Krzyzewski and Jay Williams participated in several Duke vs UNC games in the past during their time together with the Blue Devils. Coach K and his former star player were both present for Saturday's ACC showdown at Cameron Indoor Stadium, with the two Duke legends sharing a moment on the sidelines before the rivalry game.

Williams was captured in the short clip greeting Krzyzewski and his wife, Mickie, as they made their way towards their seats. Williams works as an analyst for ESPN and was part of the sports network's broadcast team for the game between Duke and North Carolina.

Williams played three seasons under Krzyzewski, one of which ended with Duke winning the national championship. Williams led the Blue Devils to the NCAA title in the 2000-01 season, averaging 21.6 points, 6.1 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals through 39 games.

Williams recorded 16 points, four assists, three rebounds and three assists in Duke's 82-72 win over Arizona in the title game, helping Coach K win his third national championship.
