College basketball fans would more than likely say that Mike Krzyzewski is one the greatest, if not THE greatest, college basketball coach of all-time. Pop music fans would say that Beyonce is one of the greatest female performers of all time, or at least the most influential woman in the genre. What happens when those two greats meet? Well, throw in Lebron James and Beyonce’s husband Jay-Z and it’s freaking magic.
College Spun shared a transcription of an interview that Krzyzewski gave during an interview with WRAL in Raleigh, North Carolina. The legendary Coach K talked about meeting the music megastar. He said that he felt like he was a little kid and even went as far as asking for a picture with her.
He recalled Jay-Z, Beyonce’s husband, sitting front row next to him and “Beyonce was over there. I wanted to meet her,” he said.
“After the (event) was over, I had to get back and (the photographers) took a photo of me, Jay-Z and LeBron. My street cred is just bouncing high,” he laughed, explaining the seminal moment of the night.
That’s where it started to go wrong for the Hall of Fame coach.
“But I didn’t get to meet her, so I went up and said ‘I’m Coach K’ and she says ‘I just heard you speak for 10 minutes. I know who you are.’”
“So I felt like 13, and then I asked her — something I hardly ever ask anyone to do — would you please take a picture with me?”

That is just too much awesome in one picture. What are the chances that Beyonce performs at the Duke/UNC game in Cameron Indoor Stadium this year?
