Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski has promoted Nolan Smith to full-time assistant, taking the job that Nate James left open when he took the Austin Peay job.
Here’s Coach K’s statement:
“Nolan is a rising star. To get him on the court with our players on a day-to-day basis will mean so much to our program. Our players will benefit immensely from his enthusiasm to teach, but also the fact that he’s young enough, he can show them. He can still play. We’re very fortunate that he and his wife Cheyna are so involved in our program and our community.
