A Cut Above – 100 Seasons of Duke Basketball
Ever since their 1906 formation, Duke University’s Blue Devils have reigned as one of the winningest teams in men’s college basketball–particularly under the 25-year stewardship of head coach Mike Krzyzewski (aka Coach K). Since joining the team in 1981, Coach K has led the Devils through an unprecedented string of victories, including 10 ACC regular-season titles, nine ACC tournament titles, nine Final Four appearances (five of which were consecutive between 1988 and 1992), and three national championships (the only team to achieve this since 1985). Through archival footage and interviews with both past and present coaches and players, this documentary revisits Duke’s unparalleled 100-year history.

I’ve seen this DVD and I have no idea what these guys are talking about. Clearly, they haven’t seen this movie. There is no 27 minute interview with Jay Bilas and I find it counterproductive to be debating the merits of Jay Bilas’ basketball opinions. Instead, we should be talking about what a great and entertaining film this is. It seamlessly chronicles the history of a storied program with thoughtful interviews from all the great Duke players and Krzyzewski. And the DVD extra on K’ville captures the phenomenon of students tenting like none I’ve seen. It’s the best Duke film yet. Any Crazie would be crazy not to buy it and reminisce.

It’s apparent that those who have the 1-star ratings for this video are not Duke fans (and even some admit it). So, if you’re not a Duke fan- why watch it? And then blast it with negative reviews? But for those of us who are true blue, this video is a MUST HAVE. Watch it once and you’ll wanna watch it twice to see the fascinating history that you may have missed the first time. It’s packed with outstanding footage of games from the beginning of the Blue Devil legacy, to the initiation of the Duke vs UNC rivalry and up into Coach K’s fantastic leadership of the team.

I am so tired of people speaking on material, and only making
comments on its content because they are speaking from their
heart..I see so many people, and this may be a little off base
because it has little to do with the DVD we are speaking of here, but just because you like or hate a certain team does not
mean they deserve that low or high a ranking just because you
are filled with hate or love a team..think about it..I am sure
some of the NC fans probably think they will go back to back
this year..Just remember JJ Redick picked NC and rooted for them to win the national championship last year..I wonder when the last time a Carolina fan, or player for that matter pulled for Duke like that..
