I know it was a rhetorical question, and I wouldn’t even attempt to answer, but hell why not. Players tend to “prefer” a black coach, if all things are equal. But not many are turning down Coach K for Counzo, some might chose Leonard Hamilton or the late John Thompson over Coach K. But everyone knows St.Louisan Chris Carrawell does the recruiting heavy lifting and relationship building for Duke, even though the Duke brand recruits itself. The moral of the story, turn a couple assistants over develop or build a new recruiting approach!
