The "Year of the Rat" diatribe has somehow made it to a great website, TruthAboutDuke.com Thanks, guys!
A couple of corrections/additions have already come in:
Shelden Williams was not selected to the McDonald's All-American team after he was kicked off his high school team following rape allegations.
The Duke Basketball Report noted that a reporter, not them, labeled last year's Duke team Coach K's best coaching job ever. OK, you win on a technicality. Speaking of technicalities, I noticed the DBR has not fixed a blatant error I pointed out to them months ago:
They were posting a link to some article about Robert Brickey of the mid-80s Duke teams. In the write-up with their link, they commented that "Brickey's team of course won the state title at E.E. Smith." Not only did Fayetteville (NC) Smith did not win the 1986 state title, they didn't even make the final game. I know because I was in the gym the night they were beaten in the regionals.
It's been months without any response to me - I even sent them the link above. Can't let a little thing like the truth stand in the way of a good blurb from the DBR...

Hey, a little late, but it was pleasure to link to your Year of the Rat article.
The DBR pretty much just cares about damage control and reader donations. Check the 7th story down here.

When readers send in corrections to their false articles, they ignore..
