Duke basketball officially announced it added former player Amile Jefferson to its coaching staff Tuesday. Jefferson played for the Blue Devils from 2012 to ’17 and won a national championship there in ’15.
“I am deeply honored and excited to be here and be part of this team that Jon Scheyer is building,” Jefferson said in a release. “I feel a special bond and connection to Durham, our fans and our entire Duke family. Being here means the world to me. I want to extend my appreciation to Coach K for the opportunity to begin my coaching career last year, and I’m grateful for Jon for allowing me to continue it.”
