Tim Duryea

[ghost of smith hall]

Just wanted to post this...North Texas Alum and former Assistant Tim Duryea named as head coach at Utah State after serving under Stew Morrill for many, many years. Tim is a good guy, excellent coach, did some nice things with the staff when he was with us and has earned this chance with the Aggies.

Good for Tim! That's a good job too.

That is great. I played with Tim a year or two. I always wondered if he would get his shot. I hope he does well.

Duryea played basketball at Denton (Texas) High School and the University of North Texas. At UNT, Duryea was a co-captain in 1988 for one of only three teams in school history to advance to the NCAA Tournament.

Good guy who finally gets his chance. I emailed him and congratulated him...got an immediate response thanking me for thinking of him.

Did the same. Great person who I hope has much success. Oh, and I reminded him to update his email signature to "Head Coach."
