Sometimes on the DBR Podcast, we talk to former, current, and even future Duke players about what it’s like to join the Duke program and what it’s like to be a member of the Duke program. This time, we’re talking to somebody who hasn’t been a Duke guy himself, but who has facilitated a few Duke careers.
Joe Mantegna has been the head coach at Blair Academy, a prep school in New Jersey, since 1999. He has sent a handful of players to Duke, most famously Luo Deng in 2003 and now most recently 4-star combo guard Jaylen Blakes, who committed to Coach K this week.
