John Kuester has been something of a basketball vagabond in the coaching world since bombing out at, where - George Washington? A one-win season will do that to you.
Nonetheless, he has worked with some of the brightest minds in the business - played for Dean Smith, was a Pitino assistant early in Pitino's career, and was a Larry Brown assistant in the NBA.
Now an assistant with the Cavaliers, Kuester, at 54, is about to get the head job in Detroit.
