Kara Lawson Gets Her Duke Program Officially Started

Kara Lawson says she’s “patiently impatient.”

Isn’t that the most 2020 thing ever?

But Lawson was trying to make a point. Her first Duke women’s basketball program had its first practice Wednesday and she and her players are still in the getting-to-know-you phase. She still doesn’t know how hard she can push them, how much information that can retain and learn from. They’re figuring it out day by day, practice by practice.

Lawson followed that first practice with a ZOOM media meeting that made clear that the transition from Joanne P. McCallie to Kara Lawson is still on-going.
