    Practice schedule at Greensboro Coliseum?

    Called the Coliseum to see if practice was open to the public (as it has been in the past). Was told that it was but the person on the phone did not know when Duke would take the floor. Anyone know? Thanks.

    I saw a tweet from one of the ACC writers that Duke won't have an open practice at GC this week. Too bad

    This article says nine teams will practice on Wednesday open to the public:

    Duke is not one of the nine.

    That IS too bad! Last time I went, there were several thousand enthusiastic Duke fans there. I can certainly understand the logistics issues and our proximity to the site, but for some people (especially kids), it is their only chance to see Duke in person. And, believe me, Coach K IS the main draw. He must be famous or something.
    Man, if your Mom made you wear that color when you were a baby, and you're still wearing it, it's time to grow up!

    Duke only does open practice for NCAAs because they are required to. Duke hasn't done open practice for ACC's in a long time.

    I like it that Duke is not practicing in Gbo. I know it's not that far from Durham, but it's still travel time. More time for Curry and Kelly to get good treatment at Duke. Good time for Rasheed to get confidence in his game(shooting at familar baskets) and best of all Coach K knows what he's doing. The guy has a pretty good resume. GoDuke!

    Ah. So THAT'S where I was. Same building, nyaaah. I wish they did practice in Greensboro. I'm sure some (admittedly Duke-hating types) folks interpret it as some form of elitism. And getting out amongst the general population is good pub, anyways.
