Nate James Takes Austin Peay Job

Well it’s official: Nate James will be leaving Duke Basketball to become the head coach of the Austin Peay Governors.

If any Austin Peay fans are reading and wondering what you’re getting in James, well here’s what you’re getting.

You're getting a guy who is an extremely hard worker, who has never had a problem rolling his sleeves up and working hard. You’re getting a guy who is a first-rate big man’s coach, as we saw last season with the dramatic improvement Duke got from Vernon Carey. You’re getting a guy who has always embodied the word honor.
