Eric Preston Duft[1] (born December 26, 1972) is an American basketball coach who is the current head coach of the Weber State Wildcats men's basketball team.[2]

Playing career

After playing at Sterling High School in Kansas, Duft would continue his college playing career at local Sterling College, where he played four seasons of basketball.[3]

Coaching career

Duft's first coaching position came at Central Community College in Kansas as an assistant coach for two seasons, before spending a lone season as the team's head coach. He'd then move on to an assistant coaching position at Cowley Community College, before spending the next seven seasons as an assistant coach at Hutchinson Community College, where he worked under former Utah State head coach Tim Duryea.[4]

In 2006, he was hired as an assistant coach under Randy Rahe at Weber State, and remained on staff through Rahe's entire coaching tenure, which included three NCAA tournament appearances and five Big Sky Conference regular season titles. After Rahe announced his retirement on May 17, 2022, Duft was promoted to head coach two days later, making him the 10th head coach in Weber State basketball history.[5][6]
