Sigh.
Funny quote:
"Laettner's 7-year-old sister, Katherine, also cried when she heard the news. Her frustration wasn't with Laettner's choice of school but with the coach's name. She could spell Smith and Holland, but not Krzyzewski."

Memory is getting bad with age, but wasn't Holland related to the family? The story back then was his family wanted him to go to UVA in a big way. That story treats us like a long shot.
Holland was very funny guy and very charismatic, but too much a gentleman for the dirty business of recruiting.
