Ex-Dukie James joins Coach K's staff as assistant

 

DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski hired former player Nate James as an assistant on Tuesday.

James led the Blue Devils to their most recent national championship in 2001. He played on two Final Four teams, scoring 1,116 points from 1996-2001 on Duke teams that finished 71-9.

He was in charge of Duke's program operations at the new practice facility.

Also, Krzyzewski promoted assistants Steve Wojciechowski and Chris Collins to associate head coaches.

Longtime assistant Johnny Dawkins left Duke last week to take the head coaching job at Stanford.

If you had the in and love the game and the life....why would you sit in an office as opposed to sitting on the most followed team in the nation?  If you have a problem with these guys it's pure jealousy I'm sure!

named Jeff Capel. Current coach at Oklahoma. Would qualify at least as a success in my book, although only at the start of his career....

Does this mean that Wojo will retain the job he was born for? Coaching big men? Why dont they get Muggsy Bogues to do it. He is the only person less qualified to coach bigs.

Wow, another Duke player returns to sit next to Coach Kay.  This is almost as much of a surprise as when I found out The Clear wasn't really flax seed oil.

Seriously, with the notable exceptions of Tommy Amaker (sp?) and now Johnny Dawkins, do ex-Duke players ever get real jobs, or do they just live off Blue Devil welfare forever?!? 

We already know they don't ...(more)
