Penfield had a somewhat smooth but gravelly voice. He covered the games with a flow that was enjoyable to hear. He was enthusiastic without being audacious. I enjoyed his broadcasts from an era when that was the only way to follow the Blue Devils on the road. Very few games were broadcast on TV - usually only the ACC Game of the Week on Saturdays on the Raycom-Pilot network.
Ad covered Duke in all of it's NCAA and NIT games up until his retirement in '76 - including four final fours and two NIT's. He is a fine part of Duke Basketball history.
RIP Ad Penfield.
