("Loyalty" being very big with fans; paychecks being very big with coaches and their families.)
I know K wouldn't like it (he has said so many times, and I believe him), but it ain't his decision.
It seems to me that there are 12 ACC schools, each with its own niche. I have a hard time seeing them going for the same recruits any more so than Duke competing with non-ACC schools, many of whom have ex-Duke coaches and players.
And as to looking down the court at Cameron or elsewhere and seeing K in a suit, why is this a problem? It is just another challenge.
I hate to be unsentimental about this, but that's how I feel.sagegrouse
