Brian Henry Zoubek (born April 6, 1988) is an American retired 7'1" basketball center. He was a member of the Duke Blue Devils' 2010 NCAA Championship team.
Zoubek's father, Paul, played baseball and football for Princeton University, and his mother, Liza Cartmell, rowed crew at Wellesley. His older sister, Sarah, played basketball at Yale University.
During his four years at Haddonfield Memorial High School, the Bulldawgs had a record of 110–10 and won three championships. In 2006 Zoubek was named as a fourth-team Parade All-American selection, named to the Jordan All-America team, and was New Jersey Player of the Year. He was twice selected by the Newark Star-Ledger to the all-state first team and was selected all-conference and All-South Jersey three times.
Zoubek averaged 24.7 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 4.2 blocks per game as a senior. He was rated 33rd overall by The Recruiting Services Consensus Index, and ranked 24th in the Rivals.com Top 150 prospects of 2006.
Zoubek started his Duke career with two double figure scoring games, against UNC Greensboro and Columbia.
In the summer of 2007 he broke the fifth metatarsal in his left foot in a pickup game. The break required surgery and the use of crutches until the fall, when he was fitted with a carbon and steel cast. In January 2008, he broke his left foot again, this time in practice. Doctors realized his foot had not healed, and in the off-season he again had surgery, followed by crutches, the boot, and rehab.
Zoubek recorded his first double double with 11 points and 13 rebounds against St. John's on February 24, 2008. A fan favorite at Duke, he was often showered with chants of "Zooooouuu" from the Cameron Crazies after grabbing a rebound or scoring.
