A replacement for Duke basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski could be closer than anyone thinks.

The million dollar question surrounding the Duke basketball program is when will Mike Krzyzewski hang up his suit and retire from his watch over the Blue Devils.

Whenever the Hall of Famer decides to call it quits, many have speculated that his successor will come from either a former assistant or player of his; Jeff Capel, Bobby Hurley, Steve Wojciechowski, Jon Scheyer, etc.

There was even a pipe dream of Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens coming to Durham until the former Butler coach signed a six-year extension in August.
