With Assistant Coach Nolan Smith accepting a position as Associate Head Coach under Kenny Payne at Louisville, Duke and Jon Scheyer have hired Elon Coach Mike Schrage to fill a staff vacancy. Elon today announced Schrage would be resigning and it was reported that Schrage would be joining Scheyers staff.
Schrage’s name should be familiar with Duke fans as he spent several years at Duke under Coach K. During his tenure at Duke, Schrage was a member of Duke’s 2001 national championship squad and two NCAA Final Four teams. He served as the program’s director of basketball operations from 2002-08.
