the people (players, coaches, etc.) felt like home - maybe even Duke in general. I don't think he was referring to Durham or North Carolina, but maybe he was.
I grew up in LA and the first time I went to San Francisco (at the age of 13 or so) it felt like home. A feeling I never had in LA even though LA was home and oh so familiar. When I first went to Berkeley and the UC campus I also felt at home. I later lived all over the Bay Area for many years and finished my undergraduate studies there before moving East. So maybe he meant the South or North Carolina, or Duke itself, or maybe even Durham, but I still think he was talking mostly about the basketball part of Duke and the way the people there made him feel.
