Nate Oats at Alabama might not be a bad choice if we go outside the family, except for the fact that Oats insulted K in December, which was dumb, if nothing else.

Well, we did once hire a guy from a less than powerhouse institution in upstate NY once...
Oh... yeah... forgot that one... from Cornell, right? But they were trying to de-emphasize then... I think they'll have deeper pockets this time too.
I'm just going to throw it out there ,but it would be hard replacing Coach K with the most successful of coaches.But to replace colleges all time wins leader .HEllo!I love K's former players but I don't see any of them being able to step in.Its going to have to be someone that has a proven track record and thats outside the Duke program.I would go with Brad Stevens. I hope K still has 3 + more years left in him.
I thought It was mere coincidence that one of the Pagliuca brothers is on the AD Search Committee.

I really like Stevens if it come down to him replacing Coach K.We are really spoiled by coach Ks success.Id hate to see a loved ex player get the job and go 8-20 their first and second year,like Dawkins,Hurley or Capel.
I would judge Adam Silver has a conflict of interest, given that the NBA competes with college athletics for the sports dollar.

I guess we'll see how assertive the new AD turns out to be. I could easily imagine a scenario in which a somewhat tentative AD nudges the choice over to K (who will no doubt have massive input regardless of AD).
