Media Services This yearbook has been prepared to assist the media in its coverage of Duke basketball during the 2007-08 season. It is also intended for fans and prospective students of Duke University. Should you need additional information, contact the Duke Sports Information Office — Box 90557, Room 115, Cameron Indoor Stadium, Durham, N.C. 27708-0557; (919) 684-2633. Press Credentials All media attending Duke basketball home games must display proper media credentials. Requests for credentials should be made in advance by mail, FAX or email on company letterhead and directed to Sports Information Director Art Chase. Due to the limited number of seats available on press row, priority is given to daily newspapers, major magazines and electronic media in the geographic areas of the competing teams. Internet sites, other than the official sites of the two participating teams, requesting credentials should contact the Duke Sports Information Department regarding its policy. Duke reserves the right to refuse any credential request deemed not to be in the best interest of Duke University. Photo Credentials All photographers attending Duke basketball home games must display proper credentials. Requests for credentials should be made in advance by mail, FAX or email on company letterhead and directed to Art Chase. Due to limited space on the baseline and the inability to create a double row for photographers, virtually no freelance photographers are allowed to shoot during the season. Duke does have permanent strobe lights in Cameron Indoor Stadium, thus installation by any other media agency is very limited. Radio Credentials Passes for non-broadcasting radio stations will be allotted on a first-come, first-serve basis and will be limited to stations with fulltime sports directors. Requests for credentials should be made in advance by mail, FAX or email on company letterhead and directed to Art Chase. If a radio network is requesting a stringer to cover the game, the request needs to be made by the network, not the individual. Also, radio spotters and statisticians are available for a fee, but the Duke Sports Information Department must be notified at least 10 days in advance. Radio stringers who are requesting live, cell phone interviews following a game need to contact a representative from the Duke Sports Information Department. These requests will be handled if a player has completed interviews in the open locker room with the media in attendance. If a radio stringer goes directly to a player or a coach, he or she may be asked to leave the locker room area. NBA Scouts NBA scouts may request tickets to Duke home basketball games. Requests for tickets should be made in advance by mail, FAX or email on team letterhead and directed to Art Chase. Scouts will be charged for the tickets. Since seating is very limited in Cameron Indoor Stadium, these requests are handled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Only one representative per team will be permitted because of space limitations. Parking will not be provided to NBA scouts, unless specifically requested by the team. Tickets will be left at the WILL CALL window at Cameron Indoor Stadium unless the team and the Duke Sports Information Office make other arrangements. Media Releases Notes packages will be available at least one day prior to each game and in many instances, much earlier. The game notes packages will be emailed to a distribution list and posted on Duke’s official athletic web site, GoDuke.com. To join the distribution list, send an email to Associate Sports Information Director Matt Plizga at plizga@ duaa.duke.edu or call (919) 812-7146. 202 202 Duke Sports Information Department Office Phone: (919) 684-2633 Office FAX: (919) 684-2489 Athletic Web Site: GoDuke.com Art Chase, Director Email: chasea@duaa.duke.edu Matt Plizga, Associate Director (basketball) Office Phone: (919) 668-1712 Cell Phone: (919) 812-0882 Email: plizga@duaa.duke.edu Lindy Brown, Associate Director Email: lbrown@duaa.duke.edu Ben Blevins, Assistant Director (basketball) Office Phone: (919) 668-4393 Cell Phone: (919) 812-7146 Email: bblevins@duaa.duke.edu Maegan Azpiazu, Staff Assistant Email: mazpiazu@duaa.duke.edu Chris Cook, Staff Assistant Email: cook@duaa.duke.edu John Crisafulli, Staff Assistant Email: jcrisafulli@duaa.duke.edu Curtis Snyder, Director of Internet Operations Email: curtis.snyder@duke.edu Lee Aldridge, Assistant Director of Internet Operations Email: ladridge@duaa.duke.edu Paulette Rogers, Secretary Email: paulette@duaa.duke.edu Mailing Address: Duke SID Office, Box 90557, Durham, N.C., 27708 Overnight Address: Duke SID Office, Room 115, Cameron Indoor Stadium Durham, N.C. 27708 Matt Plizga Ben Blevins Associate Director Assistant Director Radio Information The radio broadcast booths are located on the east side of the stadium and are suspended from the ceiling. Access to the booths is through section six off the upper concourse. Three phone lines, an ISDN line, and a dry pair to the press interview area are accessible to the visiting radio network as designated by that school’s sports information office. Verification of your network or the need for additional lines must be ordered directly from the Duke Office of Information Technology at (919) 684-3689. Space is available for only one broadcast crew from the visiting school. Student stations will generally not be allowed to broadcast due to space limitations. Special requests need to made through the visiting SID offices. Media Services Telephones Ten courtesy telephones will be installed only for media use in the Duke press room located in the northeast corner of Cameron Indoor Stadium during all Blue Devil home basketball games. There are also both ethernet and wireless connections available for writers and photographers at each home game. Courtside phones are available on an extremely limited basis due to line restrictions and safety. Please contact Matt Plizga prior to ordering any phone lines from the Duke OIT. The main press row phone number at Cameron Indoor Stadium is (919) 684-6186. Parking Media parking at Cameron Indoor Stadium is available on a limited basis. Requests for parking should be made well in advance of game day. The media parking lot is located on the concourse of Wallace Wade Stadium at the east gate. Interview Procedures Players - All interviews with Duke basketball players must be arranged through the sports information office. Please contact Duke Associate Sports Information Director Matt Plizga at (919) 668-1712 for Blue Devil player requests. The most desirable time to plan on conducting such interviews is before practices. Interview requests must be made at least one day in advance. There will be no interviews on the day of a game. There are no exceptions to this rule for any purpose, including national television broadcasts. Coaches - All interviews with Duke Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski can be arranged through Associate AD/Communication Jon Jackson at (919) 684-2624 or Associate Sports Information Director Matt Plizga at (919) 668-1712. However, it is strongly recommended that media utilize the Atlantic Coast Conference’s weekly teleconference. Coach K will be available for 10 minutes each Monday at 10:50 a.m. on that line. Requests for interviews with assistant coaches or basketball staff should also be arranged through Plizga. Locker Room Policy The Duke locker room operates under an equal access policy designed for easy coverage of the basketball program. The Duke locker room will be open to all working media after an approximate 10-minute “cooling off” period. At least one full-time staff member of the Duke Sports Information Department will be present at all times to help with any requests. Mike Krzyzewski will address the media following each game at a specified location. At home, the postgame press conference will take place in the Duke Media Room located in the northeast corner of Cameron Indoor Stadium. At all other times during the year, the Duke locker room is closed to all outside parties.
