It looks like K did not do it alone after all.

Colangelo, whose own loose timetable calls for resolving the coaching situation by the start of 2013, said Saturday that he still remembers the meeting back in 2005 in which North Carolina coaching legend Dean Smith, surveying all the various names on Colangelo's blackboard from every segment of the coaching population as a USAB consultant, said there was only one man in the college game who could handle all those NBA millionaires.

"This was [Krzyzewski's] big rival," Colangelo reminded. "That was one of those [unforgettable] moments."

No comments Dookies? A UNC legend made it possible for K to go and win. Once again UNC>Dook.

No one ever doubted Dean's ability to recognize outstanding talent.

Pop, Doc, and Rick Pitino contenders to replace K. No tarholes mentioned....again.

Also, Doug Collins. And the assistants will probably remain if they choose to - Boeheim, D'Antoni, Wojo, Chris Collins, and State's own Nate McMillan.

They are looking almost exclusively at NBA coaches, not college. The reason they liked K is that he had already coached paid players at the college level.

Ouch that hurt his pride if he has any left. It's a great day to be in Carolina but not a great day to be a Carolina fan. Lehigh anyone?

Even a UNC great knows to skip his "tree" for K. Great find!
