[Observing]

You bring up an extremely great point. He must coach intelligent athletes that come for 1) School then 2) Basketball. That makes his resume even deeper. Taking players that are truly dedicated to a GPA number versus a Draft number takes a whole different type of coach. Not many of his players move on to be great NBA players, which is point and fact that his is not recruiting talent alone! His ability to take a group of academics and then turn them into Top 5 NCAA talent is as great a testament to his coaching ability than the wins on his record.

True not many of his players have gone on to great NBA success, but
QUITE A FEW of them have come to Duke with big NBA aspirations.
and most of his high profile recruits are just like everbody elses',
basketball first, basketball second, basketball third. School when
they get around to it.
