Nunn recoverying

DWU assistant coach Kevin Nunn is recoverying well at his home in Mitchell after suffering a heart attack while the team was on the road in Kansas. Nunn, the team's hitting coach, suffered the attack Saturday evening while resting in his hotel room.

"He is a lucky guy," DWU head coach Steve Gust said. "He had major blockage in his arteries. The doctor cleared them up and expects nearly a full recovery. If he would have let it go, things could have been a lot worse."

Nunn will not accompany the team to Arizona for its spring break games, but is expected to return the following week.

"We're excited to have him return," Gust said. "He is completely committed to our kids and the program. We just don't want him to return too soon. Our first concern is his health."
