The Duke University basketball program is one of the greatest programs in collegiate sports. The Blue Devils just won their fifth National Championship under Mike Krzyzewski and show no signs of coming down from their perch as an elite college basketball program. Nowadays Duke is in the news even when the news has nothing to do with the University or the players.
Alabama recently hired Avery Johnson to be their new head basketball coach on the same day Duke took the title. Johnson is best known for his work in the NBA as the former coach of both the Dallas Mavericks and the Brooklyn Nets.
