Perhaps the greatest compliment to Carlesimo and his assistants is the litany of leaders they produced from that group alone. Walker is a community organizer whose not-for-profit Team Walker helps kids in his hometown of Jersey City. Karnisovas is general manager of the Denver Nuggets. Dan Hurley is head coach of mid-major power Rhode Island. Adrian Griffin is the top assistant with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Caver and Leahy coach high school basketball. Dehere is an entrepreneur.
