    Cavanaugh & ...
    Krzyzewski Succeeded himself. In 2013 he stepped down as USA head coach only to agree to do it again later on.

    Googling this stuff reminded me that Gaudet was also the lead plaintiff in the mid-90s NCAA class action: due to league rules, he was only paid $16,000/yr for his services. Holy guacamole. That almost makes the rest of their rulebook seem "fair" by comparison.
