The new era of Duke women’s basketball will officially tip off on the hardwood in two months, but the coaching staff’s effort on the recruiting side has been in the works since earlier this summer.
In the six weeks since Kara Lawson was named head coach of the Duke women’s basketball program, she has put into place a few different critical mechanisms to achieve a relationship-based culture off the court.
One of the all-time great Blue Devils made her stance clear on the issues at hand in America.
Former Duke women’s basketball star Oderah Chidom had always wanted to give back to her community. She just never quite knew how.
With a new head coach comes a new array of assistant coaches as well.
After her early dominance from 2007 to 2013 and the struggles that ensued from 2013 to 2016, we now look at her last four seasons.
Kara Lawson was finally introduced by Duke, over 20 years after the school's first attempt at making her a Blue Devil.
After her early dominance from 2007 to 2013, we now look back at the struggles that ensued from 2013 to 2016.
Considering Lawson to be underqualified for this job would fail to take her varied resumé into account.
While Lawson's hire has been lauded by most, our Em Adler is a bit more skeptical.
Joanne P. McCallie stepped down as head coach of Duke women's basketball July 2. The Chronicle spoke with McCallie to reflect on her 13 years leading the Blue Devils, her plans for the future and more.
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.
The Blue Devils already had to replace 3,194 minutes, 1,267 points and 568 rebounds. Now they have to replace the woman directing all of that.
Former and current Duke women's basketball players react to McCallie's surprising announcement.
McCallie made a shocking announcement Thursday morning.
The 2006-07 Duke squad etched their name into the record books with their perfect 29-0 regular season record.
“Being able to give back to my community is something that is a big part of what I want to do going forward,” Akinbode-James said.
