My Take
Tommy Amaker is the rare figure who turned an elite playing career into something even more lasting. As a Duke point guard who learned the craft under Coach K, then built programs at Seton Hall, Michigan, and now Harvard, he chose intellect over flash. What draws me to him is the decision to coach at an Ivy League school, where you win with recruiting smarts and player development rather than raw talent. I respect people who mentor the next generation from the bench more than I admire any single scorer. Amaker strikes me as a model of the thoughtful, principled leader.
