I seem to recall Steve Fisher winning a championship (and making two finals). Didn't see that Duke diploma on his wall - he went to my hometown school, Illinois State.
Coach K is a Coach Knight protege, and has been successful. How many Coach K proteges have won anything yet? IF, and I do mean IF, UM can continue their run, I think Amaker would be the first Coach K-trained Dukie to have any championship at any level. Already may be the only one to get to a final four at ay level.
Who knows? It may be the start of a trend, may be an aberration.
