Just two months ago, Coach K said this on the Dan Patrick Show:
Dan asks Krzyzewski whether he’d let a camera in on practices, like a college hoops Hard Knocks. Coach K says no and feels it would be artificial anyway because the coaches would change their behavior due to the presence of the camera.
Starting this afternoon, the exact opposite will happen as ESPN U will begin airing an All-Access series on Duke basketball, similar to what they ran on the Alabama football team earlier this year. There will be six episodes in total — four that are 30 minutes long and two that are an hour long:
ESPNU All-Access: Duke Men’s Basketball (Each episode is 30 minutes)
- 11/1: 4:30 pm
- 11/2: 4:30 pm
- 11/3: 7:00 pm
- 11/4: 7:00 pm
ESPNU All-Access: Training Days with the Duke Blue Devils (Each episode is one hour)
- 11/9: 9:00 pm
- 11/11: 8:00 pm (ESPN2)
So if you every wanted to see what a day in the life of Kyle Singler or Nolan Smith is like, to learn what its like for a freshman hoops star to make the transition from high school to college classes, or watch a practice run by Mike Krzyzewski, be sure to tune in to ESPN U this week.
At the very least you can now set your TiVo.

Hello,
The Landlord I live with does not have the extra sports channels such as ESPNU and ESPN2. Can ESPN condider re-running this on ESPN since all basic cable have ESPN. Also, my internet provider (cable America) does not allow ESPN3, although I keep requesting it. Is there a way for ESPN to request Access to Cable America? It sure would be great to watch all those football and basketball games that are on it. Thank you for your help in advance.

Is it possible to air these episodes beyond just ESPNU? Not all providers have this channel, and this is too good to miss out on! At least archive something online to access??

I totally agree. I am very frustrated because I can’t even watch any ESPN3 games b/c cable America does not have it. The landlord doesn’t have ESPNU or any extra channels. So this program should definitely be able to be seen on something every person can access. No payment. No sign-up to a website. Please if you guys can make it happen that would show you all care. Thanks

Were you guys able to watch the All Access? Unfortunately I do not have ESPNU neither but was very interested in watching.
