DURHAM - Nate James, a captain on the 2001 NCAA title-winning Duke men's basketball squad, will be named the new assistant coach for the Duke men's basketball team, four sources confirmed for The News & Observer on Monday.
James will fill the spot on the Duke bench left empty after associate head coach Johnny Dawkins left to become head coach at Stanford on April 26.
