Virginia Tech - hired Justin Fuente from Memphis

There are coaches out there who would jump at the opportunity to coach Duke.
Agreed... once again, it appears I didn't fully put the intricacies of what was in my head in my post

Let me clarify: would there be a coach who comes to Duke who A) Would be a clear improvement over Cut, B) Could adjust to the unique challenges that Duke poses, and C) Would view Duke as a long term destination? While it appears most think A is doable, in my view B and C are more challenging. As I mentioned earlier, I think that a coach who is successful at, say, NC State may not necessarily be successful at Duke given how different the environments of those programs are. Also, in my opinion C is important, as I don't want Duke to become a place where our HC is rotating every 4-5 years, although that is a matter of personal preference I imagine.
