Dawkins/Wojo/Collins HC prospects

[watzone]

Tim O'Toole and Mike Jarvis, Jr. (although I don't think Jarvis was officially an "assistant coach") both came after Mike Brey and I don't believe either was a former Duke athlete.

Speaking of assistants who didn't play for Duke, does anyone think there will be a spot on the Duke sideline for Chris Spatola (Coach K's son-in-law) when he is ready? He has said publicly he wants to be a coach when he is done serving in the Army.

O'Toole yes. He use to attend K's Duke Camps as a kid. Jarvis was not an assistant coach. Some say Spatola is somewhere on the list.

My point was that it has been since the ninties.

Have I earned some cred over here yet? The time was a year ago. I asked Johnny, "tell me something, do you want the head coaching job when K leaves?" Johnny said, "what do you think?" as if it were a dumb question.

You have credibility for me, Wat.

I think my earlier post may be contributing to people's thoughts of JD as not being the Heir. I did get the impression that he is not going to work anywhere but Durham, and that if he does become HC at any school, it will be Duke. I think maybe the impression I got from him about not being K's replacement was from years ago -99 or 00 - and he may have just been deferential and not looking too far into the future at that time.

Here's to many more years of JD at Duke.
