For those of us who live in the Triangle, we've been able to hear Coach K and Bob Harris talk about Duke Basketball on a daily basis, via 3min drivetime segments on 620am WDNC, known as "The Duke Basketball Report" (no affiliation to this site, AFAIK).

Since February, these daily segments have been available as a free podcast, via iTunes (direct iTMS link (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=212910236)) and http://goduke.statsgeek.com/podcasts/.

I don't think it's been widely publicized, yet, due to the fact that the statsgeek server apparently keeps collapsing under the demand.

(I'm wondering if the Football season counterpart, with Coach Roof, will also be on iTunes.)

I subscribed when it started, and it is always good to hear his perspective. I've had a couple of glitches with getting it on time, but those are minor. If you have ITunes, well worth the subscription (free, so the cost is your time).

Those glitches are from statsgeek.com crashing -- iTunes simply acts as the syndicator; if the host (statsgeek) is down, iTunes can't provide the update.

http://goduke.statsgeek.com indicates that it's meant as an official Duke sports archive, but there's nothing other than the podcasts, that I can find.

Don't have to have iTunes for a podcast... for those of you w/ IE7, just point your browser here: http://goduke.statsgeek.com/podcasts/?feed=rss2

Subscribe to the feed and set it up to automatically download the file. Next, just open your feeds list, click and play!

It appears that the site doesn't have good inter-links yet. However, there is quite a bit there other than podcasts:

Only the stats from every Duke player and team ever. ;-)
