McCallie resigned earlier this summer, there was a nostalgic boom for hiring Gail Goestenkors, who coached Duke from 1992-2007
It didn’t happen of course. Duke told the still-much loved Goestenkors that it was looking forward, not back, and after a bit of disappointment, Duke fans got duly excited about Kara Lawson taking the job. The whole bring-Gail-back thing ended the minute Lawson was announced.
