Duke Basketball Coach Jon Scheyer Agrees to 6-Year Contract Extension Through 2028-29 Season

In his second season as coach, 36-year-old Scheyer leads Duke into the 2023-24 season ranked at No. 2 in the AP Top 25 men's college basketball poll, holding a 27-9 record from his debut season.

Jon Scheyer, the 20th coach for Duke Blue Devils and successor of Mike Krzyzewski who retired in 2021-22, has agreed to a six-year contract extension, keeping him with the university through the 2028-29 season.
In his debut season, Scheyer led the Blue Devils to secure a 27-9 record, winning the ACC Tournament and ranked No. 2 in the AP Top 25 men's college basketball poll entering the 2023-24 season.
Scheyer, as an elite player from 2006 to 2010, and ranking 10th in program history with 2,077 points, has transitioned into a successful coaching career, being part of Duke's coaching staff since 2013 and further promoted to head coach in 2022.
Despite a second-round exit in the NCAA Tournament during Scheyer's first season as a head coach, Duke maintained a strong team with standout players like Kyle Filipowski and Tyrese Proctor not declaring for the draft.
Scheyer also has a knack for recruitment, with Duke having consecutive top-ranked national recruitment classes under his tenure, further solidifying his promise for the university's basketball program.
