Pettway played four seasons at Alabama, averaging 9.1 points during his senior campaign and helping the Crimson Tide reach the Elite Eight in the 2004 NCAA Tournament.
He has spent the last two years as an assistant at Jacksonville State.
"I have a great belief in Antoine," Alabama head coach Mark Gottfried said. "As a player, he was a great leader. He epitomized the definition of toughness and he played with such heart. I've watched him closely as a player and then later as a member of my staff in our office and I think he will bring a lot to our staff."
