Books:

A MUST have Book for those seeking all sorts of NCAA Basketball stats and data! I have the 1999 Edition, but the NEW 2000 Edition is now out!

 

A Great Book! Just like the the book above, but deals only with the NCAA Tournament. Has all the stats one could possibly imagine concerning the NCAA Tournament (not just Final Four).

 

A Great Book of the 1992 Championship season. Awesome pictures! I reccommend getting this book before it is no longer available.

 

Sounds like a pretty good book!

 

Here's an interesting book I haven't had time to read yet. I've heard good stuff about it though. Read the Summary for further details.

 

"Now Coach K reveals his personal principles for leadership, from dealing with adversity in life or on the basketball court, to taking responsibility for your actions, to learning how to trust your heartfelt instincts in times of trouble. The result is a book that shows how you can be successful in any leadership challenges you face."

 

Another good book on the ACC. Spends about 20 pages with Duke Basketball History. Talks about important Moments, Games, and Players. Also, deals with ACC Great Coaches (Bubas, Bradley, Coach K) and great ACC Players (Laettner, Hill, Hurley, Heyman, etc...). Has some nice stats in the back: Top 10 Lists.

 

Anybody know if this is a good book?

 

Haven't heard anything on this book either. I have looked for this book, but can not find it. Appears this is a children's book. Never too early I guess...

 

A good read on the intricacies that goes on during the ACC season. Was sometimes shocked and surprised at what I read...


Audio:

Audio by Bob Harris, the voice of Duke Basketball. For the second year in a row, Duke University stood at the top of NCAA collegiate basketball. Relive all the exciting radio moments from Christian Laetner's buzzer-beating shot in the region finals, to the Final Four and the championship game!


 

Videos:

A great historic look on Duke Basketball. Goes all the way from Card (1906) to Krzyzewski (1992). Not the most glitzy video out there (like those NBA videos), but definitely worth a look at if interested in Duke Basketball History and by far the best out there. Former Duke Player, Jay Bilas, is the host, and interviews range from Art Heyman, Coach K, Bobby Hurley, Laettner, Vic Bubas, Mark Alarie, Bill Foster, Johnny Dawkins, Jeff Mullins, Mike Gminski, and many more. I would definitely see this video if you enjoy Duke Basketball...puts today's success in perspective of past success. This video was partly responsible for inspiring me to create Duke Basketball Database.

 

A good documentary on the 1997-1998 Season. It is over 2 hours long and covers the entire season. This video was done by a Duke student so it's not the most glitzy of videos, but it's still very good. There were two things that made this video really fun to watch: 1) As the title suggests, this story is about the impressive turnaround from 1995 season to 1998 season. Thus, for example, we see what Wojo experienced as a freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior. This video isn't so much about the 1998 season (although it focuses on the 1998 season) but a four year journey from bottom to the top. 2) The candid interviews of the Duke Players. We see them on the court and on TV, but what are they really like in person or in the locker-room? Also, how did they feel during the season? I laughed during Carrawell's interviews and felt sorry for Ricky Price.


There's still a lot of good books on Duke, the ACC, and the NCAA that I have not listed above. Search for them on Amazon.com:
