While it's out of left field, this is exactly what Duke needs to know before Krzyzewski hands over the keys down the road--is Dawkins ready for the challenge? (And, in hindsight, this is what some argued John Thompson should have done to Craig Esherick--have him get some time at a Loyola or American circa 1990 or 1991 and and get some development outside the Georgetown environment before Thompson decided to go.) That didn't happen, of course, but Duke officials (esp. with a new AD coming on board) know that if they don't plan for Krzyzewski's transition, simply handing it off to an 11 year assistant carries some risk. And from the Duke Basketball Report, this quote: "It doesn’t make sense to us, but then again, it’s not our career." www.dukebasketballreport.com/articles/?p=24871 |

Too bad Paulus is still a student- an assistant coaching trio of Wojo, Collins, and Paulus would be almost too good to be true.

If the past is truly prologue Stanfordcan expect the following:
1. Losing- David Handerson
2. Underachieving- Mike Brey
3. Multiple failure/Cheating- Tommy Amaker
4. Probation- Quin Snyder
Remember,when it comes to K assistants, "it's about realtionships"

Dawkins probably doesn't fit the demographic for recruiting Duke's core player profile.

Actually, never mind. I KNOW you couldn't have meant that. I think this is a very poor decision by Stanford. Time will tell. |
