Kara Lawson Wins Her First Press Conference As Duke Head Coach

New Duke Women’s Basketball head coach Kara Lawson, Duke Athletic Director Kevin White and Duke Senior Deputy AD Nina White addressed the media today via ZOOM.

In case anyone thinks there’s no interest in Duke women’s hoops, over 70 media members participated.

Here are some highlights.

Duke used an outside agency-Collegiate Sports Associates—to do some early legwork but King was the point person.

King said that Duke had interest from over 20 “serious” candidates, cut that to six and then to two before selecting Lawson. King wouldn’t name the other five but Lindsey Harding was on that short list.
