Former NBA guard Tony Delk has joined New Mexico State as an assistant coach.

Delk first spoke with head coach Marvin Menzies on Monday about the position.

Delk had resigned his position as assistant to the Director of Basketball Operations at Kentucky in order to pursue the next step in his career.

"I was just enjoying the summer and watching basketball," Delk said. "When this job became available, I talked to a lot of people and mentors and everyone that I talked to said it was the best opportunity at this stage of my career."
