DURHAM – Duke University Vice President and Director of Athletics Nina King announced Saturday that head men’s basketball coach Jon Scheyer has agreed to a new six-year contract through the 2028-29 season.
The 2010 Duke graduate, who signed an initial five-year contract when he was named head coach, enters his second year as the head coach of his alma mater in 2023-24.
“Jon Scheyer has seamlessly continued the championship culture in Duke Basketball with his relentless energy, passion and attention to detail,” said King. “He and his staff hold their team to the highest standard. The entire Duke community and our fans should be proud of what these young men have accomplished on and off the court with Jon as their head coach. Our program is in tremendous hands well into the future and I could not be more excited to have Jon lead the way.”
Scheyer’s historic first season in 2022-23 resulted in an ACC Tournament title, a 27-9 overall record and a perfect 16-0 mark at Cameron Indoor Stadium. He became the first coach in the ACC’s storied history to post an undefeated home record in a debut season and the first to lead a team to an ACC title as both a player (in 2009 and 2010) and as a head coach (in 2023).
