Syracuse Orange fans love to hate Duke Blue Devils HC Mike Krzyewski but when it comes his coaching career there is one thing that Jim Boeheim would be wise to follow. Coach K’s retirement announcement might be driven by a number of things but what it is doing is giving his successor the best chance to maintain Duke’s position in the college basketball world.
Now let’s be clear the way Coach K and Duke pulled the strings on his replacement seem less than ideal. We’re not suggesting John WIldhack go out and negotiate a return to CNY for Mike Hopkins only for Boeheim to hand things over to Gerry McNamara because that is not cool at all.
