Hi there JSJ!
My word site by chance (synchronicity?) shared the word "inculcate", tied it into Duke basketball of all things, and in a decade or so could illustrate with St Johns in lieu of Duke.
I thought the word was relevant to our hopes, Chris' leadership style and worth sharing! IMHO there is no reason Chris Mullin cannot build a program on the level of what Mike K did!!!
Both Chris and Mike played college ball but only one played in the Big Bad East, in the Olympics and in the pros. Priceless.
That's my take.

Mark and Victoria tried to inculcate in their children the values of hard work, self-reliance, and respect for other people.
"When Duke went to seven Final Fours over a nine-year span from 1986 through 1994, the Blue Devils were invariably led by juniors and seniors inculcated in how Krzyzewski wanted the game played." — Barry Jacobs, Charlotte (North Carolina) News & Observer, April 10, 2015
Did You Know?
Inculcate derives from the past participle of the Latin verb inculcare, meaning "to tread on." In Latin, inculcare possesses both literal and figurative meanings, referring to either the act of walking over something or to that of impressing something upon the mind, often by way of steady repetition.
