Many people have recently tried to solve the problem of poor student attendance at football games. Administrators have encouraged students to go to games through a number of initiatives, most recently by ending tailgates at kickoff. Others have offered suggestions too.
But if history can teach us anything, there's one thing that brings Duke fans to game--Winning.
--Gregory Beaton, The Chronicle

Tip: less is better
For example, instead of 'Chris Duhon's ridiculous quotes', just use 'Duhon'. And just type 'Coach K' if you want to see all entries about the Rat.

Coach K and the media -
Coach K doesn't think he has to talk to the media. This article gives many examples of his ridiculous and selfish policies.
He regularly declines to participate in events that promote the sport that made him a multimillionaire, got him a lucrative shoe endorsement deal and gave him a forum to become one of college athletics' most recognizable spokesmen. At this point in his career, he turns down TV interviews, radio interviews, print interviews, sideline interviews and the rest.
Coach K also had a famous incident with Duke's student newspaper - the Chronicle:
In 1990, The Chronicle, Duke's student newspaper, published a midseason report card giving the Blue Devils a B-plus on their basketball performance.
In a meeting with Chronicle staff members that was taped and later excerpted in several publications, Krzyzewski occasionally used profanity in berating the students in front of his team, saying the team deserved straight A's. Later he met with the same students and apologized for the profanity but not the message.
