If you started to lose faith in Duquesne coach Keith Dambrot after last season when the floor fell out for the Dukes and they finished 6-24, then shame on you. You obviously don’t know a lot about Dambrot and what makes him tick.
Dambrot is the ultimate grinder, the ultimate survivor and most of all the ultimate fighter. He is gritty and feisty, and there is no way in heck he was about to let his final chapters be written like that.
He has built a career of working harder, preparing more and never taking no for an answer. That’s why it isn’t a surprise that the Dukes have bounced back and are putting together a really nice season.
