Rick Duckett enjoyed return to bench

Posted Jan 24, 2011
Rick Duckett is out of coaching for the second straight season, an unusual position for someone who was in the coaching fraternity for 29 years, ever since his days as a graduate assistant to Dean Smith at UNC. Duckett is back living in Winston-Salem and doing radio work for UNCG basketball. He says he wants to coach again but admits that seeing the game from a different angle hasn't been all bad.
