Duke and officials: Here's the impact Duke bully Mike Krzyzewski has on late-game officiating: Duke's last two wins came down to a 50-50 call involving physical post defense by Shelden Williams. Both calls went to Duke. Does that sound 50-50 to you?
England Trip -
Duke was able to have extra preseason practice in 2002 - by having an exhibition tour in England.
Other teams take their trips during the summer (and aren't able to take incoming freshman), but Duke took advantage of the school's 'unique' fall break and went with its current squad.
The extra practice didn't help a whole lot, as Duke failed to make it pass the sweet 16 for the second consecutive year.
