I've tried to avoid answering questions.

But let me add some Everett Case stuff.

He and State actually won 9 of 10 conference tournaments, his first six in the Southern Conference and then the first three ACC Tournaments.

The loss? Dickie Hemric and Wake Forest beat State 71-70 in the 1953 SC tournament title game. Think about that. One basket away from 10 straight tournament titles. Yikes.

He also coached at least four future ACC head coaches; Vic Bubas, Norm Sloan, Bucky Waters and Les Robinson.

Of course, Vic Bubas had five assistant coaches at Duke and all five became head coaches somewhere else. Two of them are in the hall of fame.

Anybody want to take a shot at this one?







I know you don't post often and I'm sure you have you reasons. I think I can speak for us all in saying you add so much with your knowledge and insight into Duke athletics. Would love to meet you some day and just sit down and talk about Duke sports. We are about the same age and could share some great memories. Please stop by more often. OFC

Sorry I should have read the question all the way through before answering. I was only 3 at the time, so Brickey was just an educated guess. I'm familiar with most of the players on both rosters... I'll shoot for the stars and say Jeff Lebo.

Who's up? Dukedevilz. It's your thread now. I've been just a tad late on a couple of questions and am anxious to get one correct. I have a question that maybe harttochesson may be the only one who knows. OFC

Ah, shucks.

Another hint on the two remaining coaches in question. One of these guys coached against Bubas in the NCAA Tournament.

Okay, I'm hitting the sack and I don't want to leave Fred Shabel and Tom Carmody hanging overnight.

lol I wrote Jeff Lebo without realizing hartochesson had already given the second half of the answer (4 minutes apart). I was purely guessing...

Spanarkel's 2,000 points can easily be overlooked as two of his younger teammates, Gminski and Banks, both quickly passed up Spanarkel on the all-time scoring list in the subsequent years of 1980 and 1981. Heyman would have reached the 2,000 barrier (finished with 1984 points) had he not missed a few games in 1961 - I'm thinking he was suspended after his altercation with Larry Brown.

Heyman was indeed suspended after the Brown fight.

And Groat was suspended for the second semester of his sophomore season. Plagiarism.

Spanarkel got his 2,000 in the St. John's loss in 1979, his last game. Another reason it didn't get a lot of attention.

Ok here goes. harttochesson you should get this. One of the most famous and exciting wins came on the shoe string play in 1969. Wes Chesson took a pass when Duke used a trick play now referred to as the shoe string play to win the game.

1. What end of the field did Chesson go into the end zone the open end of the horseshoe or the closed one.

2. What side of the field did Chesson catch the ball on the visitor side or the home side.

3. What number did Chesson wear.

4. Who threw the ball to Chesson.

As I recall, Willcampbell was in the basement of Card gym, where the baseball team's "locker room" was (Fall practice).

I'm gonna give it to harttochesson. Chesson was #41 which is odd for a receiver in 1969. You are up harttochesson. OFC

Thx Sky!!! Wow, great question on the # w/41 for a receiver...,

Ok, name a transfer to Duke besides Bob Bender on the '78 team which lost to Ky. Name the school he transferred from, as well!

I've just found the thread and read nothing but the last question, so forgive me if I repeat.



Question: Who was the oldest Duke BB player ever and why was he so old while at Duke?

And Jim Sumner, I'm curious. I've seen the footage of the scuffle between Brown and Heyman but its difficult to tell....

Who got the best of that?

George Moses is my guess, can't recall the reason Buckin

OFC



You guys are fast. I think the reason is because he was in the military. He really helped us at the time. Duke was pretty down at the time. Good on the boards. He played with Willie Hodge who was a very good player. Tickets were easier to get then and got to see him play some. OFC

Thinking of a question..
