We finally know who will be leading the Blue Devils in the post-Joanne P. McCallie era.
McCallie had big shoes to fill when Duke hired her to replace the great Gail Goestenkors in April 2007. And over the course of her first six seasons, she did not disappoint.
Here’s who Duke might be looking at to get itself back to elite status.
Immediately upon Joanne P. McCallie's announcement that she was stepping down as head coach, one name flew into the minds of fans and analysts alike as her potential replacement: Gail Goestenkors.
