For Duke Jeff Capel is K's replacement and I don't think anybody else gets it unless they decide to go outside the program but I don't see that happening. 

Really? I kind of have a hard time believing that. He failed at OU with his only success being with Blake Griffin. I see a number of possibilities that will have far greater resumes and also have Duke ties.

Duke may be a machine under K, but have you ever seen a program on top in any college sport have a seamless transition to stay on the top? I am 35 and I don't recall any program stay on top after a legend retires.

Agree.  There may be a halo effect for a year or 2 depending upon what's left in the cupboard but that'll be all unless the next coach can perform near miracles.  I still remember poor Gene Bartow trying to fill John Wooden's shoes at UCLA.  Wonder if Gary Cunningham left UCLA because he knew what the pressure would be like if he stayed and they named him head coach.  As I remember, the job would clearly have been his had he stuck around.  [Man, I hope my memory is accurate on that!]
