Duquesne University head men's basketball coach Danny Nee has named Ron Wuotila as coordinator of men's basketball operations. Wuotila (woe-TILLA), who served as Nee's director of basketball operations at Robert Morris University in 2000-01, comes to Duquesne after serving as the director of women's basketball operations at the University of Pittsburgh last season. He succeeds Adrian Townsend, who resigned in early June to accept an assistant coaching position at Eastern Michigan.

The Dukes also announced the pairings for the San Juan Shootout, to be played at Carolina, Puerto Rico on Dec. 20-22, and the December 27-28 Florida International University Holiday Classic in Miami, FL. In addition, the Dukes' matchup with national champion Maryland has been moved to Saturday, Nov. 30th.
