Duke men’s basketball legend Charles “Lefty” Driesell passed away Saturday, per a program release. He was 92.

He led some of the greatest players and teams in the storied history of the Atlantic Coast Conference while he was at Maryland,” said former head coach Mike Krzyzewski in the release. “He and his late wife Joyce served as splendid examples for all of us and their impact on not only basketball, but everyone they touched, was immeasurable.
