ESPN reported Friday one of its former women’s basketball analysts and current Boston Celtics assistant coach Kara Lawson is the apparent front runner to take over as coach of Duke’s women’s basketball program. The 39-year-old Lawson has become the leading candidate to replace Joanne P. McCallie, who announced last week she wouldn’t return for a 14th season as she entered the final year of her contract. Lawson played collegiately for Pat Summitt at the University of Tennessee.
