Today's anecdote: Someone asked yesterday about Brad Stevens succeeding Mike Krzyzewski. I think that would be great. Won't happen for two reasons: When I brought Brad up to K years ago he said, "He's a great coach. But it needs to be someone who understands the culture..
I said, 'did you understand the culture when you got here?" He said, "I created the f--- culture." Couldn't argue w/that. Last summer, as part of 'Back Roads,' research I spoke to Brad. Asked if he'd ever consider going back to college coaching. He said, he might...
but one place that had been mentioned where he wouldn't go was Duke. I asked why. "Because I'd insist they take down that 2010 banner and I don't think they'd be willing to do that. I couldn't possibly look at it every day." I understand.
