There's been a bit of a parlor game for a while about who should succeed
Coach K whenever he decides to step down, with most of the candidates being part
of the Duke family. The impulse to look within is understandable and
admirable, but since we can look to UNC's experience and see what happened when
they pursued Matt Doherty over, say, Rick Majerus. So when you look around, who
at least superficially most resembles what we have come to admire at Duke?
Well you have to look closer, but you could make a solid argument for
Ben Howland.
