Random Quote
Duke even had other big guys in mind while recruiting Collison. KU's All-America candidate grinned when recalling his phone call to Krzyzewski informing him he'd chosen KU.

'Actually, when I called to tell him I was going to Kansas, he was like, 'I don't care. We got a commitment from Casey Sanders anyway,' Collison said of Sanders, a 6-foot-11 senior from Tampa, Fla., who averages 4.6 points and 5.2 boards a game compared to Collison's 18.5 scoring, 9.3 rebounding marks.

Draft update!
posted on Thursday June 11, 2009
From CBSSports:
Don't let the chiseled frame fool you. According to the tests administered in Chicago, Henderson isn't close to the athlete he appears to be on the court. He showed up with huge expectations and simply didn't deliver. His maximum vertical of 35 didn't come to close to what was forecast, and he benched 185 pounds just eight times. Stephen Curry bested him in both categories. Henderson's showing perpetuates the theory that Duke players arrive in the NBA as unfinished products, Shelden Williams and J.J. Redick being the most recent examples. Henderson was a player some believed could lock himself into the lottery with a strong showing in Chicago. Now, he'll have to fight in individual workouts to hold his ground in the mid-teens.

Laettner and Davis controversy!
posted on Thursday May 28, 2009
Christian Laettner and Brian Davis are being sued! For a lot of money!

Two giants -- a petroleum company and an NFL linebacker -- say they are owed millions of dollars from a development team including two former Duke University basketball stars.

Chevron filed suit in federal court alleging that Christian Laettner, Brian Davis and Durham investor Thomas Niemann have not repaid a $1.5 million loan made in April 2007 to redevelop the Chesterfield Building in downtown Durham.

In a separate suit, a Maryland company led by Shawne Merriman, a Pro Bowl linebacker for the San Diego Chargers, accuses Laettner and Davis of failing to abide by terms of a $3 million loan.

Why is Coach K talking about this?
posted on Wednesday April 22, 2009
Coach K doesn't seem concerned that Dook has made it past the Sweet Sixteen once since 2001. He's doesn't seem concerned about losing his star player Gerald Henderson to the NBA. What is he concerned with? Promoting his book and giving advice to President Obama.

Washington Post Link
Krzyzewski was largely complimentary of the president during his interview this morning, insisting that he "loved" what Obama had done to date but urging him to reach higher.

"I would like to see him inspire even more and not get beaten down by the day to day negativity that's involved," said Krzyzewski. "Let's charge man, let's get the country back going."

There has been speculation for years about Coach K's political leaning with most people convinced he is a Republican, particularly after he hosted a fundraiser for North Carolina Sen. Elizabeth Dole (R-N.C.) in 2002.


Here's a NY Times article from 2002 about the Coach K/Dole fundrasier

Paulus Update!
posted on Wednesday April 15, 2009
Dook's football coach says there's "no way" Paulus can play QB for him after such a long time away from the sport. Yet, Rich Rodriguez met with Paulus about playing QB for Michigan. Crazy!

Seems like Dook's FB coach is coming across as making the most sense...

Paulus going for football!
posted on Tuesday April 14, 2009
A fan writes in:
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4067162

You mean Paulus actually have a chance to succeed in a sport? The quote that bothers me is the following:

"Paulus averaged 9.9 points and 4.1 assists as a three-year starter for the Blue Devils. But coach Mike Krzyzewski shuffled his lineup and Paulus, with a history of injuries, was replaced by Nolan Smith at the point. Paulus played just 16.1 minutes a game this season, averaging 4.9 points and 1.3 assists."

Yeah, that's it. Injuries caused him to be benched. If so, was it from all the flopping? Was it from falling down after being dunked on? I mean, c'mon.

"So many years in a row"

More Pat Forde:
Richard from Hickory, NC: Can Duke contend for a national championship next year if Henderson stays?

Pat Forde: Richard: I don't know. I've seen the Blue Devils go down early so many years in a row now that I'm beginning to doubt their ability to win another title -- at least until they get some big guys who can really play.

Random TAD Encyc. Entry
Elton Brand - Elton has been a great player in college and the NBA. He was also the first Duke player to leave early for the NBA.

Elton's early exit brought on an hilarious e-mail exchange between Elton and a Duke student.

Elton talked about sending this e-mail in Slam Magazine afterwards, and the link to this has resurfaced:

There's an e-mail that has haunted Elton Brand and won't go away. He's never admitted to it, not until now. Chillin' in his modest downtown apartment with teammates Ron Artest and Corey Benjamin, watching Duke ball UNC, Elton confesses--but only because I asked. "So E," I say without Corey or Ron hearing. "Did you really write that e-mail back to that white girl when you were at Duke?"

Elton looks around, rubs on the red Coogi sweater, and spits honesty. "I'll tell you, I did."

To paraphrase the episode, some co-ed at Duke wrote Elton an e-mail degrading him for leaving school early. According to her, "no one should ever leave Duke before they graduate." She called EB some derogatory names, made racial and athletic references and basically said he didn't deserve to wear Duke blue. The reply was classic. Calm. It basically told the struggles of a particular young black man and how he "wasn't like these other brothas and athletes you see that go to this school."

"She didn't know my background," E says, making a move to the kitchen. "I ain't come from money like a Christian Laettner or a Grant Hill or even like Shane [Battier]. She didn't know my background, so for her to just go off on me...you know I had to say something."

"So when you were on Up Close with Rip Hamilton before the '99 title game and Chris Myers asked about it, you basically lied?"

"No. I was protecting myself. I knew when I sat down in Corey Maggette's room and typed that e-mail, I was doing the right thing. But it was to her, not the public. And I wasn't about to mess up my Draft chances by admitting that. Because, c'mon, you know the deal, the average [and E says this eloquently, without using the word "white"] person wouldn't have understood where I was coming from." I did.
