I was reading in one of the Chicago papers over the weekend a lament that Northwestern didn't hire Tommy Amaker and instead chose O'Neill. I didn't know this but apparently Amaker wanted the Northwestern job badly after Ricky Byrdsong was fired. The article said that Northwestern's A.D., a guy named Taylor, already had made up his mind to hire O'Neill, even before they began to review job candidates, based on his reputation as a superb recruiter. It's now been three years now since O'Neill went to Northwestern and Amaker to Seton Hall and the fortunes of each are evident for all to see. The author of the article wonders if Taylor is man enough to admit he made a big mistake by choosing to hire a coach with a record instead of taking a chance on a bright young assistant. Coach K was interviewed in the article and said that if he were to leave Duke that Amaker is the only person he would want to take his place. Amaker was always K's favorite and I have long suspected that he will, someday, succeed K.
