Let me tell you a story. When Grant Hill came to visit Duke back in about 1988, he was accompanied by his father Calvin (Yale, NFL All-Pro, etc.). Coach K let Tommy Amaker and Billy King do the campus tour. Calvin was absolutely blown away at how poised and intelligent were these two young men and Duke products.
Poise, intelligence, class. And, if they don't bring it with them, it happens through their experiences at Duke and with Coach K's program. Even one year can make a big difference. Oh, and it didn't start with Coach K.
Hey, man, this is home cooking, but I believe it, and it sure tastes good!
