Nate James knows the feeling of winning a college basketball national championship as a player and an assistant coach and also losing on the biggest stage of his collegiate career.
Casey Sanders, Nate James and Chris Duhon celebrate after defeating Arizona at the Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on April 2, 2001.
"As a matter of fact, my wife and I were just talking about the loss to this year’s team, the loss to [North] Carolina for [coach Mike Krzyzewski’s final home game] and I said look, you know, it sucks. I hated that was the last game. I was there. And I said it's kind of like my senior year.
"This is storybook," James told Fox News Digital."They couldn’t have written this up any better than this turned out to be. So now, our guys just have to play their games and take care of business and don’t let the emotion of it come into play." Assistant coach Nate James of the Duke Blue Devils celebrates after he cut down a piece of the net following their 61-59 win against the Butler Bulldogs during the 2010 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball National Championship game at Lucas Oil Stadium on April 5, 2010 in Indianapolis, Indiana."It is going to be hard. I mean as a coach now and someone who’s older it was easy to say, hey man don’t think about last game. Don’t think about it being your rival.
