The article you posted is probably the longest article related to DU basketball that I can ever remember reading.  The more I learn about Coach D the more impressed I am.  He has a blueprint for success and I will be surprised if, given time, DU does not become a winning program.

The more I read and hear the more I look forward to seeing this program grow into what it should be. These are exciting times for DU basketball! Definitely renewing my season tix!!

Just another peice of information that highlights how much different things will be in the Dambrot era, I love it. You always got the feeling in the past that the athletic department and basketball program were cutting corners. This is also another sign of an overall commitment to success. This guys resume is extremely impressive and generally that doesn't come cheap. Kudos to Dambrot and the department for going that extra mile to establish a culture, mindset, and identity for the program right outta the gate.

We are in good hands.

Really enjoyed the long and detailed read from PSN on Dr Carr. I feel like I've viewed every YouTube clip of Coach Dambrot and Akron since he took the job at Duquesne and I remembered watching a video on the work Dr. Carr was doing with the Zips program so here is his work and the quotes behind his work and Coach's philosophies in video format.




 

No more bricks. Yay!

Very impressive; great to see the incredible potential in the Duquesne program finally being recognized.  The program has been asleep for so long; but with the commitment of the University and the excitement surrounding the City of Pittsburgh it can become hugely attractive for recruits, and will be a factor locally and nationally.

I could have used a sports psychologist back in my day. I was "Jung" and very "Freudened" 

That's phenomenological!

These are the conversation that need to take place to change the culture of Dukes basketball. Hopefully it spreads throughout the department and energizes the student body as well. I appreciate that we - the hardcore - are getting jazzed up, but the effect could be by an order of magnitude if the student body buys in.

 

Dr. Carr would get enough material from talking to us to write a couple of books, so he should really kick in a free session for the long-suffering fans on this board!

This reminds me of when John Cinicola brought in a hypnotist to try and help the team during the 1976-77 season. 

As Norm Nixon recounted, each player had an individual session and were told to tell the hypnotist what they wanted to improve the most. 

Slick said that he said he wanted to improve his ability to use his left hand.  B.B. Flenory said he wanted to improve his jumping ability.  Rich Cotton said he wanted to play his bass guitar better.  Cini was not happy with Rich.
