Congratulations to Coach James and Austin Peay. They made a great hire.
That's great news for Nate! One of the all-time faves, and I'm glad he's getting an opportunity. Maybe he can add a couple of grad transfers from Duke to help him start his program!

Does anyone have a copy of the picture of Nate after the 2001 NCAA Championship sitting alone in the locker room with the championship net hanging around his neck?

Nice! Congrats to Nate James. Some good news after these past few days.
Nate is a stalwart on my First Team Favorite Duke Ballers, along with Grant Hill, Elton Brand, Nolan Smith and Quinn Cook. My guess is that team would vote Nate and Quinn co-captains.

Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?
Without a doubt, one of the most beloved Blue Devils of all-time! If the Govs adopt the persona of their coach, they are going to be something else!
Ideal spot for Goldwire. Wonderful opportunity for one of the baddest men to ever play for the GOAT. My family will be rooting hard and feverishly for him to do his thing in Tennessee.
Just did some quick research. Austin Peay was 14-13 this year. They had a star player named Terry Taylor who averaged 21.6 pts and 11.1 rebounds per game despite being only 6-5. He is a senior who was conference player of the year last year so I'm guessing Nate's first job is to try to get him to stick around for another year. In 2019-2020 they were 21-12 and the year before that they were 22-11 so this program has a history of some success.
Kyle gets BUCKETS!

Austin Peay has a pretty good Twitter thread about hiring head coach Nate James, with photos of the family and quotes from Coach K, Shane Battier, and Kevin White.

Not gonna lie, the red Under Armour is going to take some getting used to.
