Pitt coach Jeff Capel, a proud Duke man and former Blue Devils player, grew up a North Carolina fan
Posted Jan 4, 2019
While certainly not to the level of a Mike Krzyzewski or a Christian Laettner, there are few in college basketball more closely associated with Duke than Jeff Capel. That attachment he has to his alma mater, though, doesn’t produce any sense of vitriol toward its most bitter rival. “I never hated Carolina,” Capel said Thursday. “It was a big-time rivalry when I played and when I coached, but I never hated them."
