High school basketball did not get the same exposure in those days, but the basketball junkies in Chicago debated who was the better point guard, Isaiah or Doc.
It's difficult to know how much influence Doc has on Austin or whether Doc favors Duke. You would have to think that Doc knows and respects Coach K and, hopefully, that plays some role in the young man's decision.
