The Utah Jazz head coach might someday appear on his alma mater’s wishlist.

Ever since UNC basketball legend Roy Williams’ sudden retirement on Thursday at age 70, speculation has exploded regarding his rival eight miles down Tobacco Road. Yes, Duke basketball treasure Mike Krzyzewski, 74, is likely to soon hang it up as the NCAA all-time wins leader. At that time, like it or not, Utah Jazz gem Quin Snyder should be a prime potential successor.

First, for the sake of full disclosure, I must point out that I’m the son of a Duke grad and a former student there as well.
