Nolan Smith is leaving Duke to become Kenny Payne’s top assistant with the Cardinals
After one season as a formal assistant on Coach K’s staff, he now departs for his late father Derek Smith’s alma mater. The elder Smith starred with the Cardinals from 1979 to ’82, leading the school to an NCAA championship over UCLA in ’80.
Considering the Smith family’s ties to Louisville, as well as the promotion and significant pay raise, it’s understandable why Smith is jumping from his alma mater to his father’s. His new role as Louisville’s associate head coach places him one step closer to running a program of his own as a head coach in the future.
