Letter to the editor: Appreciative of Dukes' play, coverage

As a season ticketholder and Duquesne law graduate, I certainly appreciate the stellar coverage given to the Duquesne Dukes men’s basketball team during their NCAA “March Madness” run in the tournament. Like Duquesne University President Ken Gormley, I am feeling like a kid again. Having met all of the players on the team, I can say that they seem to be very polite and well mannered, and they do play hard during the game.

I met Coach Keith Dambrot seven years ago, during his introduction as head coach, and was most impressed by his knowledge of Duquesne and the fact that his father, Sid Dambrot, played for the Dukes during their early “glory years.” Dambrot has now come full circle in leading this year’s team back to the tournament. Mission accomplished.

Thanks also to Tribune-Review president Jennifer Bertetto for continuing to provide newsworthy local coverage.
