A Duke basketball alum was granted one of the highest honors in the sport.

There has always been a Duke basketball presence around the USA Basketball program and that will not be going away anytime soon.

Former Blue Devil Grant Hill has been named as the next managing director for the United States of America’s Men’s National Team.

Hill will replace current managing director Jerry Colangelo after the Tokyo Olympics, which will be held in the summer of 2021 after the coronavirus pandemic forced the one year postponement of the games.
