Editorial reviews

In Tales from the Duke Blue Devils Locker Room, North Carolinian author Jim Sumner applies his expertise as both a historian and a Southern sports fan – not to mention a Duke graduate – to enhancing these breathless accounts of college basketball feats. In Tom Parks’ expeditious and articulate performance, a listener finds an edge-of-the-seat action that often rivals watching tape of the game.

Only three college basketball programs have had more wins than Duke. Adding to the program’s legendary status is the perennial presence of the coach, Mike Krzyzewski, who appears often in this audiobook, just as he’s appeared consistently on the Duke sidelines for twenty-five years.

The stories were great, but it was totally distracting that Tom Parks didn't bother learning how to properly pronounce players' and, of all people, Coach K's name! He mispronounced Meagher, Trajan, Gminski, and Scheyer as well. Totally detracted from the stories. Shame on you Tom Parks and shame on the producer as well.

How can the narrator mispronounce Coach K's name?

If you were going to narrate a book about Duke basketball learn how to pronounce the names. At the very least, you should be able to pronounce Krzyzewski correctly. It was thoroughly distracting. Absolutely pathetic.

How do you narrate a book about Duke basketball and mispronounce "Krzyzewski" throughout the entire book? Other names like Gminski and Bubas were mispronounced, too. There were some fun stories, but I stopped listening because the narration was so poor.

Terrible narration.
