It’s Summer Time So People Are Speculating On Coach K’s (Eventual) Retirement Plans

Like everyone else, we wonder about Mike Krzyzewski and his retirement schedule but since it does no good to speculate we generally avoid talking much about it.

This week though it’s everywhere. One former assistant, Mike Brey, said he thought that former Duke star Bobby Hurley would be a great fit (more intriguingly, he mentioned several other guys and said they were all basically happy where they are, which naturally led to more speculation about how long Hurley will stay in Tempe. Brey’s partly right though: Hurley is temperamentally suited to what will be a tough job and he’s lived in a fishbowl his whole life as son of Bob Hurley and brother of increasingly prominent Danny and he nearly died in his 1992 accident.
