Duke welcomes Coastal Carolina to Cameron on Thursday night, and that means seeing an old opponent back, because Coastal is coached by former Wake Forest guard Justin Gray.
Gray, who teamed up with Chris Paul, and who played for Skip Prosser, has done a really nice job so far at Coastal. His first season was 10-22, and last year, the Chanticleers finished 19-13. That doesn’t sound imposing, but winning at the Sun Belt level isn’t easy.
He also did well at Western Carolina in the Southern Conference, and that’s not easy, either.
Gray has built his program around what he calls “the Coastal Edge,” or just the Edge.
