Here is the Duke assessment:
Next: It would be surprising if the candidate didn’t come from the Duke family. Associate coach Jeff Capel is a top candidate. He went 4-3 during his interim stint this winter, a missed opportunity to bolster his candidacy. Northwestern’s Chris Collins and Marquette’s Steve Wojciechowski, both former Duke guards, are poised for NCAA Tournament bids this season. They’d at least have to interview Harvard’s Tommy Amaker, who has led the Crimson to four NCAA Tournaments. (If Bobby Hurley resuscitates Arizona State the next few seasons, he’d emerge as a name). Brey worked for White at Notre Dame before the athletic director left for Duke, so there’s some logic there. Arizona’s Miller and Virginia’s Bennett would be intriguing outside options and arguably have better credentials than anyone in the Blue Devil family. But it’s hard to imagine Duke breaking away from Duke.
Still think they go outside of Duke when the time comes and if not, my bet is Collins.
An interesting blurb: Brad Stevens just extended his contract with the Celtics this off-season and loves the NBA game, which makes it naïve to project him returning anytime soon to college. (Sorry, Indiana fans).
Lastly, an article from SI's vault from almost a year before Wojo was hired on the continuity of assistants a major factor in Duke's perennial success:
