The Guessing Game: Who Replaces Coach K?

Either in the spring or just before the season starts, it’s become a tradition for various people to write an article about how long Coach K will continue to coach.

Otherwise it’s a subject of endless fascination for some people. Matt Norlander has his take with the Five Most Likely Replacements angle.
