The infrastructure of Duke basketball is there (facilities, endowed scholarships, history, media exposure) ... there is no program building required ... what's required is the star wattage/serious basketball mind/honesty to reel in the talent, mold it, and keep doing things the right way. I think Bilas provides that.
