DUKE PERSPECTIVES FROM 2009-10
“Duke’s reputation is worldwide, not just
nationwide, thanks to academics and basketball. I love that. When we go in homes, we have instant name recognition. Our name
stands for excellence. That’s something that young men
are seeing across this country and is going to make a
difference in our recruiting over the next few years.”
Duke Head Football Coach DAVID CUTCLIFFE
“I went to a few games at Arizona State growing up, but I want to play Duke. Who doesn’t want to play Duke? You want to play the best.”
UConn Senior GAVIN EDWARDS, on the possibility of playing Duke in the NIT Season Tip-Off in New York
“Brian Zoubek is a mountain masquerading as a man.”
Virginia Tech Head Coach SETH GREENBERG, after the Hokies lost 67-55 in Cameron Indoor on Feb. 21st
“Sometimes, it felt like we were standing in the trees.”
Penn Head Coach JEROME ALLEN, on Duke’s size, after a 114-55 Blue Devil win in Cameron on Dec. 31st
“Virginia advances, but you have to wonder if this win earns them a ticket on the Titantic tomorrow vs. Duke.”
CBS Analyst DAN BONNER, after
UVA advanced past BC to meet Duke in the ACC Tourney quarterfinals
“Playing Duke is an opportunity of a lifetime.”
Cal senior PATRICK CHRISTOPHER, before Duke knocked off the Golden Bears 68-53 in the second round of the Big Dance on March 21st
190 DUKE 2010
“Of the highly identifiable, usually competitive and generally polarizing American sports brands, none is more so than Duke Basketball… Coach K’s Duke is that massive rock every
great mountain climber dares to scale.
It’s the exam every
genius longs to take, the song every singer wants a chance
to sing. Coach K’s Duke also happens to represent the mountain climber who
reaches the summit, the genius that aces the exam and the singer that nails the performance. Hate ‘em. Love ‘em. Gotta watch ‘em.”
Oakland Tribune’s MONTE POOLE, before Duke met Cal in the Dance
“Once we get over the fact
that we’re playing Duke, once we get over the name on the jersey, I think it will be a very competitive game.”
Arizona State senior DEREK GLASSER, before Duke’s 64-53 win
over the Sun Devils in the NIT Season Tip-Off on Nov. 25th
“It’s a game on national television against a top-five
team in the country –- against a Hall of Fame coach in a hostile environment. It’s a lifetime opportunity for our players. This is a Mecca of
college basketball. There’s such a history to it. Keep in mind the legacy of Coach
Krzyzewski. Our players will appreciate shaking his hand after the game. I was the same way in 1986 when Duke beat us to go to the Final Four. I still admire the guy.”
Tulsa Head CoachDOUG WOJCIK, before Duke’s 70-52 win over the Golden Hurricane on Feb. 25th
(Wojcik also played on the Navy team that fell to Duke in the Elite Eight of the 1986 NCAA Tournament)
