Coach K's Dubious Legacy
This image was lost some time after publication. Much has been made of the respective "coaching trees" of Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski and former North Carolina coach Dean Smith. Whereas the Deanster has Roy Williams, Larry Brown, George Karl, et al, Coach K's offspring have been decidedly less successful. We knew that ... but we had no idea how much worse it got this year.
The Realests has a rather damning, comprehensive post. Some highlights:
David Henderson Delaware Status: "Not retained" Quin Snyder Missouri Status: Resigned Tim O'Toole Fairfield Status: "Will not return"
The other four Division-I coaches who learned under Coach K? None made the NCAA tournament. This is not doing good things for Chris Collins' resume.
