Duke hires Kara Lawson as women's basketball coach

Duke has hired former Tennessee and WNBA guard Kara Lawson as its women's basketball coach, the school announced Saturday.

Lawson, 39, had been an assistant with the Boston Celtics before taking over at Duke. She will replace Joanne P. McCallie, who announced on July 2 that she wouldn't return for a 14th season. She'd entered the final year of her contract without an extension.

As a teenager, I played organized baseball and basketball with her father (Bill Lawson)

My brother's wife and Kara's mother are sisters.

Small world, indeed.

Sounds like a good choice. She was a heck of a collegiate player.
