Duke is hiring Oklahoma's Emanuel Dildy as an assistant coach after Amile Jefferson's departure to the NBA. That's according to a person with knowledge of the situation. The person spoke to the AP on Thursday on condition of anonymity because the school hasn't officially discussed its search. The 42-year-old Dildy has spent the past two seasons with the Sooners and has a reputation as a strong recruiter. Before that, he had spent three seasons with another power-conference program at Northwestern. Jefferson left earlier this summer to become an assistant with the Boston Celtics.
