A Solid Read From The Chronicle On K’s Comments About The State Of The Game

If you ever get the chance to go back in the Duke Chronicle archives, stop in around 1975-76 and look up columns by John Feinstein.

You’ll see very quickly that he had a distinct voice and talent.

Reading this column by Mitchell Gladstone reminded us a bit of the young Feinstein.

He’s writing about Coach K’s oft-repeated warnings to the NCAA about the need for structural reform to its amateurism model.

It’s an intelligent and insightful article and, we might add, with a distinct voice. It’s not as easy to spot as Feinstein’s, but it’s the sort of voice that you could learn to recognize.

Good work, in other words.
