My dad loves basketball.  In fact he coached the girls basketball team at the middle school where he worked for 8 years.  He eats, breathes, and lives the sport.  I have been raised in a Duke only house hold.  My dad often jokes with me saying, "Channing, your lucky you were born at four in the morning.  If it had been at eight in the night i wouldn’t have been there because duke had a game that night."  All my life I have watched my dad learn from Coach K, training his girls team in the same manner.  My father has to be the most loyal fan I know.  He hasn’t missed watching a game since 1966.  He love’s basketball, but he loves Duke Basketball not because their are a great program, which they are, but because Coach K has such class and commands such respect from his fellow coaches.
