I am a rising senior, and Duke is at the top of my list of colleges. However, wherever I go to college I want to become a basketball manager as I probably want to persue a career in coaching basketball. How difficult would you say it is to become a basketball manager here siince basketball is so big? I have a great background in basketball, and I am currently a manager for a big school in Texas. I’m practically a mini coach, I help the coach run camps, I’m constantly learning about new things. My coaches would be willing to provide great reccomendations for me. I’m willing to do anything basically.

However, do any of you know if it is just a matter of “who you know”, and I would have no shot if I don’t have any connections. I would really love to go to Duke, and I want to apply there early decision; but if I don’t have at least a decent shot to become a manager, I will have to reconsider my options. If anyone can provide me insight on this situation it would be GREATLY appreciated.
