Duke is a pretty disclipined and tightly run program but it’s not perfect. Things happen.
One of the minor things that happened several years ago, a small typo, may have worked out in Duke’s favor.
A home state recruit complained because Duke kept misspelling his name on recruiting letters.
We’re sure in retrospect that it was entered in the database incorrectly the first time and no one realized it.
He complained pubicly, and bitterly, that it wasn't that hard to spell his name correctly: P-J-H-A-I-R-S-T-O-N.
He was right of course, and we would guess that Coach K was probably not very happy with the oversight.
