The 2014 MLS Cup runner-up coach (NE Revolution 2011-2017) is back at midfield at age 49. |

| Daniel Ewing | 2001–05 | @MrDanielEwing | Officially official, as he put it on Twitter the day the Lakers called: a member of Los Angeles Lakers basketball operations, working as a scout out of his home base in Greater Houston. The job is the natural endpoint of a passport that ran out of pages — Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Turkey, France, Lithuania, Israel, Argentina, Romania, the Clippers, the Polish League titles, the EuroCup runs, the small clinics for kids in Moscow when his Clippers team passed through. After his playing career he came home to Houston, did some television work, mentored kids in the TJ Ford Basketball Program named for his old high-school running mate, and put himself through the NBA Assistant Coaches Program. The Lakers hired him in September 2022. He was 39 years old. The kid who once told a reporter he just wanted to be remembered as a winner and a guy who would do whatever the team needed had grown up into the version of himself the question was always pointing toward. |

| Alex Murphy | 2012–13 | @AlexMurphy5 | Professional basketball player in his ninth pro season; currently with Flexicar Fuenlabrada Madrid in Spain. |
| Amile Jefferson | 2012–17 | @AmileJefferson | Assistant coach for the Boston Celtics under head coach Joe Mazzulla — a job he was hired into in July 2023 and on which he won an NBA championship his very first year, when the Celtics beat the Dallas Mavericks 4-1 in the 2024 NBA Finals. He is reunited daily with Jayson Tatum, the Celtics' superstar forward who was Jefferson's freshman teammate at Duke during Jefferson's fifth-year senior season in 2016-17. Jefferson and his wife Chelsea Grain were married on August 5, 2023, one month after the Celtics hire was announced. He still calls Duke home — "The Brotherhood is forever," he said when he announced his departure from Coach Scheyer's Duke staff — but his rings now total two: 2015 NCAA, 2024 NBA. There is a not-implausible scenario in which he is a head coach somewhere in the NBA before he is 40. |

| Michael Gbinije | 2011–12 | @MGbinije | Retired from professional basketball in May 2025 after a 9-year pro career that took him to Germany, Lithuania, South Africa, Iran, three NBA G League affiliates, the Detroit Pistons, and the 2016 Rio Olympics with Nigeria. Now based in Lynchburg, Virginia, where he serves as an assistant coach for the Virginia University of Lynchburg Dragons men's basketball program — an HBCU roughly 100 miles from where he grew up in Chester, Virginia. He tells the VUL players, per his bio on the school's athletics site, that he uses his playing experiences and lessons learned to help them reach a higher level. In a sense, Coach Gbinije is the lesson: basketball does not always unfold on the path you expected, and the wrong first chapter does not decide the book. |

Career path: 4 years at Duke (2011-15) — 3 years as student manager (2011-14), then walk-on senior year (2014-15) culminating in 2015 NCAA Championship. Younger brother of Ryan Kelly, who played at Duke 2009-13 and was drafted 48th overall by the Lakers in 2013. |

| Tyler Thornton | 2010–14 | @TylerThornton12 | Duke men's basketball assistant coach under head coach Jon Scheyer, hired in May 2025 to return to his alma mater after six seasons at Howard University. The hire was a homecoming three ways over: he came back to the program where he had played four years and captained Scheyer's first season on the bench; he came back to the head coach who had been on staff during his entire Duke career; and he came back to a Duke staff that already includes other former Blue Devils, including Justin Robinson (now a Lakers coach as of July 2025) and the broader Brotherhood network. He is also still, at 33, a Washington DC native who grew up at Gonzaga College High School and was inducted into the school's athletic hall of fame in 2024. "As a former Duke player, it's incredibly humbling to return to the program as a member of the coaching staff," he said when his Duke hire was announced. "I'm grateful for the opportunity to help the next generation of players achieve their dreams. My passion for the game has always been rooted in doing whatever it takes to win. I'm ready to support Coach Scheyer and contribute in any way that helps our program continue to compete at a championship level." |

| Jack White | 2016–20 | @JackWhite41 | Plays for Mersin MSK in the Turkish Basketbol Süper Ligi, where he signed in August 2025 after one season with FC Bayern Munich and a Summer League stint with the Atlanta Hawks. He is the only player in Duke basketball history with championship rings from three different professional leagues on three different continents — the NBL in Australia, the NBA in North America, and the BBL in Germany — and the only Duke player to have won an NBA title without ever scoring an NBA playoff point. In August 2025 he won his first senior gold medal for the Australian Boomers at the FIBA Asia Cup in Saudi Arabia, and as of the February 2026 World Cup qualifiers window he is still wearing the green and gold for his country at age 28. He told the Latrobe Valley Express in December 2025 that he still believes he is an NBA-caliber player and still wants to get back. Knowing his career to this point, only a fool would bet against him. |

| Justin Robinson | 2015–20 | @JRobinson_0 | Player Development Coach for the Los Angeles Lakers under head coach JJ Redick (yes, the Duke JJ Redick — class of 2006), a position he was hired into in July 2025 after two seasons as Duke's Director of Player Development under Jon Scheyer. He spends his time working with the Lakers' younger players, applying the same patient, low-ego, high-IQ coaching style that he once applied to Cooper Flagg, Khaman Maluach, and Patrick Ngongba at Duke. Per the Andscape feature on Duke's coaching staff in March 2025, Cooper Flagg credited 'J Rob' specifically for showing him how to be a vocal leader. He is, in other words, doing the same thing professionally that he was doing at age 19 — making other people better, quietly. The Lakers are very fortunate. |

| Marques Bolden | 2016–19 | @MarquesBolden | Suiting up for the Santa Cruz Warriors in the NBA G League — Golden State's affiliate, the same gym where Elliot Williams once won a championship — having joined the team's 2025-26 training camp roster after spending two summer leagues (2024 and 2025) with the Warriors. He's still chasing the NBA call-up, and he's still 27 years old. He is also still Joyo. He is still going back to Jakarta when the Indonesian national team needs him. He is still the most famous American basketball player most American basketball fans have never heard of, because the people who know him best are 12,000 miles east, where they call him by a name his Duke teammates would not have recognized. |
| Marvin Bagley III | 2017–18 | @MB3Five | Forward/Center, Dallas Mavericks (traded from Washington, Feb 2026); averaging 13.0/8.9 in first 7 games with Dallas |
| Matt Jones | 2013–17 | @MattJones_13 | After a brief professional basketball career — Sacramento Kings training camp on an Exhibit 10 contract in 2017, two seasons in the Sacramento Kings G League system with the Reno Bighorns and the Stockton Kings (where he had a 26-point game in early 2019 against Austin), and a stint with Bank of Taiwan in the Taiwanese Super Basketball League — Jones moved into commercial real estate, where he most recently served as a Landlord Representation Broker at JLL (Jones Lang LaSalle) in the San Francisco Bay Area. The transition is the kind that Duke basketball alumni have made for decades, applying the same skills that defined his Duke career — competitive intelligence, hard work in service of the team rather than the spotlight, the ability to read the room and make the right play — to a new arena. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with a minor in Cultural Anthropology from Duke (2017) and was profiled by Alumni Ventures as a model of the basketball-to-business pipeline. He's the kind of Duke alumnus who shows up at games when he can, hangs with the brotherhood when the brotherhood gathers, and never stops being a 2015 national champion. |
| Matthew Hurt | 2019–21 | @matt_hurt1 | Professional basketball, Cedevita Olimpija (Slovenia, ABA League/EuroCup); previously Trapani (Italy), South East Melbourne (Australia, NBL All-Five); 8 career NBA games with Memphis Grizzlies |
| Michael Savarino | 2019–22 | @michael__sav | Works for Klutch Sports Group, the New York-based sports agency founded by Rich Paul, the firm that represents LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and dozens of other top NBA and college players. Based in New York City, where he completed his Master of Arts in Sports Business at NYU's School of Professional Studies in 2024. From the limited public signals he posts on his LinkedIn profile, his work centers on the business side of professional basketball — strategy, athlete representation, league economics — including detailed memos on the upcoming WNBA collective bargaining agreement, women's sports investment, and player compensation reform. He appears to have moved beyond playing the game and into building a career in shaping how it works at the institutional level. Coach K, now retired and 78, no longer needs to worry about an angry call from Mickie about playing time. |

| Darren Harris | 2024–26 | @DarrenHarris_ | Committed to Indiana on April 13, 2026 — six days after entering the transfer portal, and just hours after Indiana assistant Kenny Johnson helped close the deal. Johnson's deep ties to both Paul VI and Team Takeover made Bloomington a natural landing spot. Harris canceled a scheduled visit to Virginia to commit to the Hoosiers, joining Georgia Tech transfer Jaeden Mustaf as the second portal addition of the day for Darian DeVries's rebuilding roster. Indiana went 18-14 in 2025-26 and missed the NCAA Tournament for the third straight season; with only one returning rotational player (freshman forward Trent Sisley) and an almost entirely new roster being assembled through the portal and a top-80 freshman class, Harris will finally get the minutes and the role he spent two years waiting for at Duke. Two years of eligibility remaining. The shot mechanics are still textbook. The work ethic is still there. Bloomington is about to find out what Darren Harris can do when his number actually gets called. |
