Report: Kara Lawson leading candidate for Duke women’s basketball coaching job

Ever since Brad Stevens made the coaching transition from college to the pros, there have been rumors that Stevens could jump back to the collegiate ranks.

But this time, it’s one of Stevens’ assistant coaches that could reportedly make a move to take over a top college basketball program.

According to Jimmy Hyams of 99.1 The Sports Animal in Tennessee, Kara Lawson has emerged as the leading candidate to take the reins of the Duke women’s basketball team. Steve Wiseman of the Raleigh News and Observer reported that a deal could be done as soon as Friday even though Lawson is currently with the Celtics in Orlando helping to run practice.
