Photo Credentials 

All photographers attending Duke basketball 

home games must display proper 

credentials. Requests for credentials should 

be made in advance by mail, FAX or email 

on company letterhead and directed to Matt 

Plizga. Due to limited space on the baseline 

and the inability to create a double row for 

photographers, virtually no freelance photographers 

are allowed to shoot during the 

season. Duke does have permanent strobe 

lights in Cameron Indoor Stadium, thus installation 

by any other media agency is very 

limited. 

Radio Credentials 

Passes for non-broadcasting radio stations 

will be allotted on a first-come, first-serve 

basis and will be limited to stations with fulltime 

sports directors. Requests for credentials 

should be made in advance by mail, FAX or 

email on company letterhead and directed 

to Matt Plizga. If a radio network is requesting 

a stringer to cover the game, the 

request needs to be made by the network, 

not the individual. Also, radio spotters and 

statisticians are available for a fee, but the 

Duke Sports Information Department must 

be notified at least 10 days in advance. 

Radio stringers who are requesting live, 

cell phone interviews following a game need to 

contact a representative from the Duke Sports 

Information Department. These requests 

will be handled if a player has completed 

interviews in the open locker room with the 

media in attendance. If a radio stringer goes 

directly to a player or a coach, he or she may 

be asked to leave the locker room area.

packages will be emailed to a distribution

site, GoDuke.com. To join the distribution list, 

send an email to Associate Sports Information 

Director Matt Plizga at plizga@duaa.duke.

on the concourse of Wallace Wade Stadium 

at the east gate. 

Radio Information

on the east side of the stadium and are 

suspended from the ceiling. Access to the 

booths is through section six off the upper 

concourse. Three phone lines, an ISDN line, 

and a dry pair to the press interview area 

are accessible to the visiting radio network as 

designated by that school’s sports information 

office. Verification of your network or the 

need for additional lines must be ordered 

directly from the Duke Office of Information 

Technology at (919) 684-3689.

Interview Procedures 

Players - All interviews with Duke 

basketball players must be arranged through 

the sports information office. Please contact 

Duke Associate Sports Information Director 

Matt Plizga at (919) 668-1712 for Blue Devil 

player requests. The most desirable time to 

plan on conducting such interviews is before 

practices. Interview requests must be made 

at least one day in advance. There will be no 

interviews on the day of a game. There are 

no exceptions to this rule for any purpose, 

including national television broadcasts. 

Coaches - All interviews with Duke Head 

Coach Mike Krzyzewski can be arranged 

through Associate AD/University & Public 

Affairs Jon Jackson at (919) 684-2624 or 

Associate Sports Information Director Matt 

Plizga at (919) 668-1712. However, it is 

strongly recommended that media utilize 

the Atlantic Coast Conference’s weekly teleconference. 

Coach K will be available for 10 

minutes each Monday at 12 noon on that 

line. Requests for interviews with assistant 

coaches or basketball staff should also be 

arranged through Plizga. 

Practice Coverage 

For the most part, Duke practices are 

closed to all outside parties. Media members 

can contact Matt Plizga about attending a 

specific practice session. Television crews 

needing to get shots of practice should plan 

on coming early to shoot warm-ups before 

the actual practice begins. 

Locker Room Policy 

The Duke locker room operates under 

an equal access policy designed for easy 

coverage of the basketball program. The Duke 

locker room will be open to all working media 

after an approximate 10-minute “cooling off” 

period. At least one full-time staff member 

of the Duke Sports Information Department 

will be present at all times to help with any 

requests. 

Mike Krzyzewski will address the 

media following each game at a specified 

location. At home, the postgame press conference 

will take place in the Bill Brill Media 

Room located in the northeast corner of 

Cameron Indoor Stadium. 

At all other times during the year, the 

Duke locker room is closed to all outside 

parties.

instant replay of each teleconference on the 

conference’s internet site www.TheACC.com

Duke Basketball Notebook 

106th Season of Basketball 

Duke is entering its 106th season of 

basketball in 2010-11. The Blue Devils have 

compiled a 1,912-822 record to rank fourth 

all-time in victories. 

Singler & Smith Named Team Captains 

The Blue Devils selected seniors Kyle 

Singler and Nolan Smith as captains for 

the 2010-11 season. Both players are firsttime 

captains for the Blue Devils. 

Blue Devils Return Nine Letterwinners 

Despite the loss of five upperclassmen, 

including three senior starters from last 

season’s NCAA Championship team, Duke 

returns several key components from a 

year ago. The 12-man roster features 

nine returning letterwinners, including 

three players with extensive starting 

experience. Seniors Casey Peters, Kyle 

Singler and Nolan Smith along with 

junior Miles Plumlee give Duke four 

upperclassmen. The roster is stacked with 

talented underclassmen, as Seth Curry, 

Andre Dawkins, Ryan Kelly, Mason 

Plumlee and Todd Zafirovski enter their 

sophomore seasons and the Blue Devils 

welcome a highly-touted freshmen class 

featuring Josh Hairston, Kyrie Irving 

and Tyler Thornton. 

The group of nine returning players 

helped Duke to a 35-5 record, the NCAA 

Championship and a second consecutive ACC 

Tournament title in 2009-10. The Blue Devils 

won their final 10 games and 18 of the final 

19 games of the season. 

The talent level remains abundant on 

the current squad, as it features six players 

who earned prep All-America recognition, 

including five who competed as McDonald’s 

All-Americas. 

Singler at Home on the Wing 

Senior Kyle Singler returns as one of 

the lead candidates for National Player of the 

Year honors in 2010-11. The versatile wing 

has shown a well-rounded skill set through 

his first three years that make him one of the 

toughest matchups in the NCAA. He moved 

primarily to the wing last season after splitting 

time between the perimeter and post 

his first two seasons. 

Singler, the 2010 NCAA Final Four MOP, 

averaged 17.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.4 

assists per game a year ago. He finished 

the year ranked among the league leaders 

in scoring, rebounding, free throw percentage, 

three-point percentage, three-point field 

goals and minutes played. 

The Medford, Ore., native has started 

110 of his 111 career games and currently 

ranks 18th with 1,767 career points. Singler 

is 233 points shy of becoming the 11th 

2,000-point scorer in Duke history. 

Backcourt Among the Best in the NCAA 

Senior co-captain Nolan Smith headlines 

a talented and deep backcourt for the 

Blue Devils. One season after the roster 

featured just three true guards, Duke now 

has one of the top backcourts in the country. 

Joining Smith are sophomore sharp-shooters 

Seth Curry and Andre Dawkins as well as 

a pair of elite freshmen in Kyrie Irving and 

Tyler Thornton. 

Smith, a 2010 second team All-ACC pick, 

is coming off a breakout junior campaign and 

has blossomed into a first team All-America 

candidate. The Upper Marlboro, Md., native 

averaged 17.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.0 

assists and 1.2 steals per game a year ago. 

Smith, the 2010 NCAA Tournament South 

Region MOP, scored 20 or more points 16 

times in 2009-10 and posted career highs in 

nearly every statistical category. He was also 

an NCAA All-Final Four, ACC All-Tournament 

and NIT Season Tip-Off team selection. 

Curry is ready to contribute in the backcourt 

after sitting out the 2009-10 season 

per NCAA transfer rules. He averaged an 

NCAA freshmen-best 20.2 points per game 

at Liberty in 2007-08 and is poised to showcase 

his skills on a bigger stage this season. 

Curry is a deadly long-range shooter with 

underrated ball handling, play-making and 

finishing abilities. 

Dawkins provides Duke with another 

potent scoring option on the perimeter. He 

knocked down 36 three-pointers as a freshman 

and is one of the top pure shooters in 

the ACC. Dawkins has steadily improved his 

ball handling skills and midrange game in 

the offseason and is prepared for a breakout 

sophomore season. 

Irving, an NCAA Freshman of the Year 

candidate, is an up-tempo point guard that 

has the skill set to be among the elite lead 

guards in the NCAA. He excels in transition 

and around the rim, but also has a solid 

outside shooting touch and mindset to direct 

the halfcourt offense. Irving, a finalist for 

the Naismith High School Player of the Year 

Award, directed the U.S. Under-18 team to 

a 5-0 record and a gold medal at the 2010 

FIBA Americas U18 Championship. 

Thornton, a Washington, D.C., native is 

a scrappy defender with strong leadership 

skills. He has shown solid scoring instincts 

and an uncanny ability to make everyone 

around him better. Thornton gives the Blue 

Devils added depth and versatility in the 

backcourt. 

Duke also gets a boost in practice with 

the return of Casey Peters. A former team 

manager, Peters is a hard working senior that 

shows up to compete each and every day. 

Peters’ sister, Haley, is a freshman on the 

Duke women’s basketball team. They are the 

first brother-sister basketball combination at 

Duke. 

Young & Athletic in the Frontcourt 

Duke’s frontcourt will be young, athletic 

and talented in 2010-11. Junior Miles 

Plumlee is the lone upperclass big man 

on the roster with Ryan Kelly and Mason 

Plumlee ready to make big strides in their 

second seasons at Duke. Freshman Josh 

Hairston also will be in the mix for minutes 

on the interior for the Blue Devils. 

All four members of the frontcourt rotation 

are strong in the open floor and should 

benefit from outstanding perimeter play by 

Smith, Irving, Curry and company. 

Miles Plumlee has steadily progressed 

through his first two seasons in Durham 

and is poised for a breakthrough campaign 

as a junior. The 6’10”, 245-pound forward 

is an elite run and jump athlete with rising 

confidence. Last season, he led the Blue 

Devils with 33 dunks and finished fourth on 

the team with 26 blocks. Plumlee averaged 

5.2 points and 4.9 rebounds in just over 16 

minutes per game. He also shot 56.1 percent 

(83-of-148) from the field and posted four 

double-doubles on the year. 

Kelly possesses a great feel for the game 

and has used the offseason to improve his 

strength and athleticism. The Raleigh, N.C., 

native has added over 20 pounds from a year 

ago to withstand the rigors of ACC play. Kelly 

has an advanced offensive skill set out to the 

three-point line. With the added strength, 

Kelly should improve upon last season’s 

averages of 1.2 points and 1.1 rebounds per 

game. 

Mason Plumlee has added 10 pounds 

in the offseason and is in position for a big 

sophomore season. The Warsaw, Ind., native 

recorded 3.7 points and 3.1 rebounds 

with 30 blocks and 24 dunks a year ago. He 

excels in the open floor as a finisher and as 

a passer and could thrive in Duke’s up-tempo 

system. Plumlee has shown range out to the 

three-point line and the ability to put the ball 

on the floor and finish at the rim. He also has 

the aggressiveness to consistently crash the 

boards on both ends of the floor. 

Hairston is another young big man that 

shines in transition. The Fredericksburg, Va., 

native is a quick jumper with long arms, allowing 

him to play bigger than his 6’7” frame. 

Hairston, a third team Parade All-America in 

2010, has a nice shooting touch out to 15 

feet and is able to use his speed and agility 

to be a nuisance on the offensive glass. 

Last season, he averaged 20.2 points, 10.2 

rebounds and 2.1 assists per game to grab 

Gatorade Player of the Year honors out of 

Maryland. 

Sophomore Todd Zafirovski also returns 

to provide the Blue Devils with depth on 

the interior. He has steadily improved since 

joining the team as a walk-on in December 

of 2009 and is a valuable practice player for 

the Blue Devils.

Coaching Staff Remains in Tact 

Mike Krzyzewski returns for his 

31st year as the head coach at Duke. He 

is joined by associate head coaches Steve 

Wojciechowski (12th season) and Chris 

Collins (11th season) as well as assistant 

coach Nate James (third season). 

The coaching staff has guided Duke to a 

65-12 record, including a 24-8 mark in ACC 

play, over the past two seasons. The Blue 

Devils won the 2010 NCAA Championship 

and a pair of ACC titles in that span. 

Sustained Success 

Duke has won 20 or more games 45 

times in its 105 years of basketball. Including 

its 35-5 mark a year ago, Duke has won at 

least 20 games for 14 consecutive seasons. 

The Blue Devils have also won 30 or more 

games 11 times since the 1985-86 season. 

Moving Up the Victory Ladder 

Mike Krzyzewski is one of just six 

coaches in Division I history to reach 800 

career wins. His 868 wins rank fourth among 

college basketball’s victory leaders and first 

among active coaches. With 795 victories 

as the Duke head coach, Krzyzewski is five 

wins shy of becoming the fifth coach in NCAA 

history to win at least 800 games at one 

school. He is also the winningest coach in 

NCAA Tournament history and ranks second 

all-time in career ACC wins.

Duke in Elite Victory Club 

Duke is one of just four schools in NCAA 

history to have earned at least 1,900 all-time 

victories. Now with 1,911 wins, the Blue 

Devils join Kentucky (2,023), North Carolina 

(2,003) and Kansas (2,003) as members of 

the prestigious 1,900-win club. 

First and Foremost 

Entering the 2010-11 season, Duke has 

been ranked No. 1 in the nation (Associated 

Press poll) a total of 111 weeks, the secondhighest 

figure in college basketball history 

behind only UCLA (134). 

Since the 1997-98 season, the Blue 

Devils have been ranked No. 1 in the AP 

poll 56 weeks, 22 more weeks than the next 

closest school (North Carolina, 34). Duke has 

reached No. 1 in the poll in nine of the past 

12 seasons. 

NCAA History 

Duke, which made its 34th NCAA Tournament 

appearance last season, has been 

one of the best NCAA Tournament teams in 

the history of college basketball. The Blue 

Devils’ .758 winning percentage (94-30) in 

NCAA Tournament play is the best all-time. 

Duke’s 94 NCAA Tournament victories and 

124 tournament games rank fourth all-time 

in NCAA history. 

In 2010, the Blue Devils made their 

15th consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance 

and 26th in the last 27 seasons under 

Mike Krzyzewski. Coach K has led Duke 

to 11 Final Fours since 1986 and four NCAA 

championships (1991, 1992, 2001 & 2010) 

in the last 20 years. 

ACC History 

The Blue Devils have won nine of the 

past 12 ACC Tournament championships, 

posting a 30-3 (.909) mark in that span. 

Overall, 

Duke has posted an 87-39 record (.690) 

all-time in the ACC Tournament. The Blue 

Devils have won 18 conference championships, 

the most tournament titles in the ACC. 

Duke’s league tournament championships 

came in 1960, 1963, 1964, 1966, 1978, 1980, 

1986, 1988, 1992, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 

2003, 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2010. 

Under head coach Mike Krzyzewski, 

Duke is 49-17 in the ACC Tournament. Coach 

K’s Blue Devils have won 12 ACC Tournament 

titles (1986, 1988, 1992, 1999, 2000, 2001, 

2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2009, 2010). Coach 

K is the only active head coach in the ACC to 

with four or more league championships. 

Selling Out 

Duke has sold out 305 consecutive 

games at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The last 

time Duke did not have a sellout at home was 

on Nov. 16, 1990, against Boston College. 

Overall, the Blue Devils continue to be one 

the nation’s most popular draws, playing in 

front of sellout crowds in all venues in 286 

of their last 349 games. 

Non-Conference Home Win Streak 

Duke has won an NCAA-best 77 consecutive 

non-conference home games. Duke’s 

last home loss against a non-conference foe 

was an 83-82 decision against St. John’s on 

Feb. 26, 2000. 

ACC Dominance 

Duke has dominated the ACC regular 

season like no other program since 1997. The 

Blue Devils have won 178 league games (35 

games ahead of the next team) — an average 

of nearly 13 wins per year, eight regular 

season ACC championships and nine of the 

past 12 ACC Tournament titles (1999-2003, 

2005, 2006, 2009 and 2010). In 2003, Duke 

became the first team in league history to 

win five straight ACC Tournament championships. 

In the last 13 seasons, the Blue Devils 

have posted a 92-12 (.885) mark at Cameron 

Indoor Stadium in league play. Duke has 

recorded five undefeated home campaigns 

in conference action and has lost more than 

one ACC home game twice in that span.

Singler Climbing in the Record Books 

Senior Kyle Singler will continue his 

climb in the Duke record books in 2010-11 as 

he looks to become the 10th player in Blue 

Devil history to earn National Player of the 

Year accolades. 

The Medford, Ore., native currently 

ranks 18th at Duke in points (1,767) and 

rebounds (762). He is also 11th with 205 

career three-point field goals and fifth among 

players with at least 100 career starts with a 

.836 winning percentage (92-18). 

Singler is attempting to join Shane 

Battier as the only players in Duke history 

to record 1,800 points, 800 rebounds, 300 

offensive rebounds and 200 three-point 

field goals in a career. He currently has 

1,767 points, 762 rebounds, 272 offensive 

rebounds and 205 three-pointers in 111 

career games. 

Smith Taking Game to New Heights 

Senior Nolan Smith raised his scoring 

average by 9.0 points per game between 

his sophomore and junior seasons and has 

evolved into one of the elite guards in the 

NCAA. Smith’s growth continued over the 

summer as he stood out as a member of the 

U.S. College Select Team that participated in 

training camps in Las Vegas and New York 

with the 2010 USA World Championship 

team. 

As a junior, the Upper Marlboro, Md., native 

eclipsed his career highs in nearly every 

major statistical category en route to earning 

second team All-ACC and NCAA Tournament 

South Region MVP honors. 

Smith averaged 17.4 points per game a 

year ago and now ranks 45th at Duke with 

1,147 points in 106 career games. 

With Duke’s 61-59 win over Butler in the 

2010 NCAA Championship game, Smith and 

his father,the late Derek Smith, became just 

the fourth father-son tandem to each win an 

NCAA basketball title. Smith and his father 

both won their national championships in 

Indianapolis.

Seniors Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith 

are the sixth-highest returning scoring duo in 

the NCAA heading into the 2010-11 season.

Duke Anniversaries in 2010-11 

25th Anniversary of the 1986 Final Four team 

Mike Krzyzewski guided the 1986 to the Final Four 

and an appearance in the NCAA Championship game. 

Although the Blue Devils fell, 72-69, to Louisville in the 

title games, the 1986 season helped solidify Duke’s 

standing as national power. 

Naismith Award winner Johnny Dawkins along 

with fellow seniors Mark Alarie, Jay Bilas and David 

Henderson led Duke to a 37-3 mark overall and a 12-2 

record in ACC-play. The Blue Devils won the ACC regular 

season and ACC Tournament Championship as well as 

the Preseason Big Apple NIT. 

Duke opened the season with 16 straight wins before 

suffering back-to-back losses in late January. The Blue 

Devils rebounded to win 21 straight games before falling 

in the NCAA title game. 

The senior class, which was part of an 11-17 season in 

1982-83 that had many fans doubting Coach K, combined 

to average 58.4 points and 19.5 rebounds per game. 

Dawkins earned first team All-America, All-ACC, 

All-NCAA Final Four and East Regional MVP honors, 

while Alarie was named All-ACC, All-NCAA Final Four, 

All-East Regional and honorable mention All-America. 

Tommy Amaker was also named to the All-NCAA Final 

Four team. 

20th Anniversary of the 1991 NCAA Championship 

Mike Krzyzewski joined UCLA’s John Wooden as 

the only coach to lead a school to four consecutive Final 

Fours in 1991. This time it proved to be the magical trip 

as Duke captured its first national championship. The 

Blue Devils recorded a stirring upset of undefeated and 

seemingly invincible UNLV in the semifinals and a hardfought 

victory over Kansas in the title contest. 

Christian Laettner took MVP honors with 28 points 

against the Runnin’ Rebels and shot a perfect 12-for-12 

from the free throw line against the Jayhawks. Point 

guard Bobby Hurley played nearly flawless basketball. 

He was on the floor the entire 80 minutes with 16 assists 

and just six turnovers in directing the offense. Reserve 

guard Billy McCaffrey joined Hurley and Laettner on the 

All-Final Four team with 16 points in the title game. 

The Blue Devils finished the year 32-7 overall and 

ranked No. 6 in the final AP poll. Duke won the ACC 

regular season crown and had 10 wins over ranked opponents, 

including two wins over North Carolina when 

the Tar Heels were ranked in the top 5 of the AP poll. 

10th Anniversary of the 2001 NCAA Championship 

Duke earned its third national championship in an 

11-season span by defeating ACC foe Maryland and 

preseason No. 1 Arizona in the 2001 Final Four in 

Minneapolis. Mike Krzyzewski became just the fourth 

coach in history to win three or more national championships, 

joining legends John Wooden (10), Adolph Rupp 

(four) and Bob Knight (three) as three-time NCAA title 

coaches. 

Led by the Final Four Most Outstanding Player and 

National Player of the Year Shane Battier, the Blue 

Devils rolled through the NCAA Tournament, becoming 

only the second team since the field was expanded to 

64 or 65 teams to win every tournament game by 10 or 

more points. Mike Dunleavy exploded for 21 points in 

the championship game and Jason Williams averaged 

more than 25 points in Duke’s six NCAA games. Carlos 

Boozer returned from a late season injury to add an 

inside presence during the NCAA Tournament run. 

Duke closed the year ranked No. 1 in the AP poll with 

a 35-4 record overall and 13-3 mark in the ACC. The 

Blue Devils won 13 games over ranked opponents and 

set several team records along the way.
