The search for Mike Elko’s replacement is well under way behind the scenes and the thing that strikes us immediately is the confidence Duke fans have in AD Nina King. We have yet to see a single negative comment and that’s highly unusual for someone in that position. You may remember that even Mike Krzyzewski, regarded by many as the GOAT, regularly got criticism for one thing and another, and by that we mean from Duke fans. So the confidence in A.D. King is really striking and heartening.
She has retained Parker Executive Search to streamline the process, which is probably a good move.
