Posted May 18, 2007
"Good coaches somehow know a way to find other good coaches," Pete Brennan said. "Frank McGuire found Dean Smith, and then Dean found Bill Guthridge and Roy Williams. I don't think you write that sort of thing off to blind luck." Which makes you wonder: As Williams piles up wins and chases championships, are he and Smith quietly keeping an eye out for someone to recommend as the next in line?
