my family tree has 6 Duquesne grads including my wife and one of our sons.
After years of being widely recognized as the worst coaching job in the A10, Keith Dambrot, the son of a DU basketball player from the 50s, took on the job that had resulted in the last 7 coaches being fired. He said he took the job because he was tired of his Dad complaining about how bad Duquesne had become.
