McCallie is one of the brightest minds in college basketball today. She is an excellent fit for Office Duke University. It is not easy filling Gail’s shoes, but if anyone can – Joanne certainly can.” (919) 684-2633 C. Vivian Stringer, Rutgers Head Coach FAX (919) 684-2489 “Coach P is one of the bright, upcoming coaches in the game. She was a terrific player at Northwestern and she understands the game. When she took over at Michigan State, she ended up taking them to the NCAA CHAMPIONS Final Four. She is positive, positive, positive and I think she will do a great job at Duke. I love her enthusiasm and she knows her ‘x’s and o’s’.” Men's Basketball 1991, 1992, 2001 Ann Meyers, General Manager Phoenix Mercury Women's Golf “Joanne McCallie is a terrific choice to take over the head coaching responsibilities of the Duke women’s 1999, 2002 basketball program. We welcome her to the Duke basketball family and look forward to working with her Men's Soccer for years to come. I was able to meet with Coach McCallie during the hiring process and was tremendously 1986 impressed with her coaching resume as well as her commitment to the community.” Mike Krzyzewski, Duke Men’s Basketball Head Coach BOWL GAMES “Joanne took the Michigan State women’s program to another level. She’s an intense competitor and Rose 1939, 1942 demands the best effort from her players. She understands what it takes to produce at a championship level.” Sugar 1945 Tom Izzo, Michigan State Men’s Basketball Head Coach Orange “I am really happy for Coach P as I know she will do a great job at Duke. In the little time I spent with her 1955, 1958 at USA Basketball, I like her philosophy, the way she coaches, her style, how energetic she is and how Cotton she pushes you but she is still positive.

Duke fans will see a very similar offensive style, up tempo, three-point shooting and fast break offense. Defensively she is known for her matchup zone but she has never had the kind of talent and athleticism she will inherit with this job, including her NCAA Final Four team. Whether she will play that match-up zone, which has been the cornerstone of her defense is yet to be determined.” Debbie Antonelli, National Television Analyst “Coach Palombo was the most dynamic person I came into contact with during my recruiting process. I trusted her as a person and as a coach more than any other coach. I knew she was a winner and I knew that she would challenge me as a player and as a person more than any other coach.

They have a coach that will be able to continue the path of taking Duke to win a championship. She is an accomplished recruiter and her style of play will fit Duke well. She has a wonderful personality with fans, friends, players and the kids will love playing for Coach McCallie. She did a great job of resurrecting the Michigan State program and making them into a national power. I am so happy that she is going to Duke.” Nancy Lieberman, National Television Analyst “For her coaching staff, players and her team she gets the most out of the talent she has and has been able to be able to work with. She has had some tremendous talent that she recruited and gotten them to work at a very high level. With the types of players and the tradition that Duke has garnered over the last number of years with Gail [Goestenkors] being there, Joanne is not only going to continue that tradition but she is going to bring it to another level. The Final Fours and championship games they have played in, Joanne will begin to put rings on players’ fingers as well as fill up the trophy case with pride, commitment, excellence and National Championships. She is an awesome hire, unbelievable hire, family oriented, teacher of the game, mentor and someone who will do Duke University very proud in the present time and on into the future during her coaching career there.” Darren Bennett, Skidmore Head Women’s Basketball Coach An assistant coach under Coach McCallie in 2003-04 at Michigan State “Coach McCallie is an outstanding fit for Duke University.

  • Mega Conferences
    Non-revenue sports Football, of course, provides the impetus for any conference realignment. In men's basketball, coaches will lose the built-in recruiting tool of playing near home during conference play and then at Madison Square Garden for the Big East Tournament. But what about the rest of the sports? Here's a look at the potential Missouri Pittsburgh Syracuse Nebraska Ohio State Northwestern Minnesota Michigan St. Wisconsin Purdue State Penn Michigan Iowa Indiana Illinois future of the non-revenue sports at Rutgers if it joins the Big Ten: BASEBALL Now: Under longtime head coach Fred Hill Sr., the Scarlet Knights made the Rutgers NCAA Tournament four times last decade. The Big East Conference’s national clout was hurt by the defection of Miami in 2004. The last conference team to make the College World Series was Louisville in 2007. After: Rutgers could emerge as the class of the conference. You find the best baseball either down South or out West. The power conferences are the ACC, Pac-10 and SEC. A Big Ten team has not made the CWS since Michigan in 1984. MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY Now: At the Big East championships in October, Rutgers finished 12th out of 14 teams. Syracuse won the Big East title and finished 14th at nationals. Four other Big East schools made the Top 25. After: The conferences are similar. Wisconsin won the conference title and took seventh at nationals. Two other schools made the Top 25. MEN’S GOLF Now: The Scarlet Knights have made the NCAA Tournament twice since 1983.

And soon to become, in marketing terms, "the Michael Jordan of college coaches," according to his agent, David Falk (who is, yes, Jordan's agent). Krzyzewski (pronounced sha-SHEF-ski) has been doing about 30 corporate speaking gigs a year for about $50,000 a pop. (He plans to cut back on the number of speeches while raising his fee to $100,000.) He is host of an annual conference at Duke's Fuqua School of Business. The university, in an unusual move, put its basketball coach's name on an academic center, the Fuqua/Coach K Center of Leadership & Ethics, and made Krzyzewski an "executive in residence" with the expectation that he will be able to become a professor whenever he stops coaching. In addition, Duke Corporate Education, which consults to businesses, has developed a program that uses Krzyzewski's methods as a teaching tool. PricewaterhouseCoopers has so far sent about 500 senior associates and managers — most of them "partners in the making," as they were described to me — to study Duke basketball in a "metaphoric context" to help them reach personal and professional goals. That irritating American Express commercial is blaring All of this is easy to ridicule because Krzyzewski is, again during the college basketball telecasts. The after all, a mere coach — and in some quarters, scrappy Polish guy from Chicago is standing in front of especially among rival fans in the bitterly competitive his bench, his feet firmly planted on the holy hardwood Atlantic Coast Conference, a reviled one.

  • Billy Graham the Most Revered Person in N.C
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 7, 2011 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Billy Graham the most revered person in N.C. Raleigh, N.C. – PPP recently made news for finding that Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is the most popular person the firm has ever polled on anywhere, and that only Abraham Lincoln and Jesus Christ are more popular with voters nationally than he is in Wisconsin. So PPP set out to find who the most popular figure in North Carolina is. Eight of the 14 people tested were sports figures, but none could top a preacher in this Bible-Belt state. Billy Graham comes home from the hospital to news that his home state likes none of its residents better than him. 69% have a favorable impression of the reverend, and only 14% an unfavorable one. That level of raw favor and net favorability tops the list. Next is legendary UNC basketball coach Dean Smith (59-9), former Sheriff of Mayberry Andy Griffith (64-15), Smith’s most accomplished Tar Heel pupil Michael Jordan (59- 14), NASCAR great “King” Richard Petty (56-11), current Heels coach Roy Williams (46-10), rival Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski (49-14), Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton (38-9), 2011 American Idol Scottie McCreery (37-8), NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt, Jr. (39-17), eight-term governor Jim Hunt (38-23), first UNC system president Bill Friday (23-8), former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Hugh Shelton (12-7), and wrestler Ric Flair (12-23).
