Whether they’re attending men’s or women’s basketball games, “We yell, we scream, we clap and end up standing most of the time,” he says. “We shout, ‘Go Duke!’ But I can’t repeat our slogans for the opposing teams.”
Over his medical and teaching career at Duke, Dr. St.Clair says basketball has often served as the centerpiece of his family’s social life, creating many great times and memories.
“We all work hard in our profession,” he says. “Duke basketball has given me something outside of my life as a physician to really enjoy with friends and family. More than anything, what you remember about these games is not so much who wins, who loses, but why you were there, whom you were with and how much fun you had. It’s created a lot of value for me and the rest of my family.”
