Several times last year, Mike Krzyzewski, unprompted mentioned that Tyler Thorntonwould make a good basketball coach. It was a compliment of Thornton’s basketball IQ, his understanding of the game.

Now, less than three months after graduating and ending his Duke career, Thornton is a coach. And he’s working for a familiar face.

Marquette head coach Steve Wojciechowski—who spent the past 15 years on the Duke bench as an assistant—announced Friday that Thornton was joining his staff in Milwaukee. Thornton is expected to work as a graduate assistant.
