Overview
- Scheyer publicly said on the Glue Guys podcast that he will not leave Duke and that he must “see this thing through,” rejecting reported NBA overtures.
- The Dallas Mavericks pursued Scheyer during their coaching search this summer but ultimately hired Dusty May for the vacancy.
- Scheyer cited pride in Duke’s strong start, his family ties, and the program’s remaining goals as the reasons for staying rather than moving to the NBA.
- Keeping Scheyer in Durham preserves continuity for players, recruits, and staff and could strengthen Duke’s short-term recruiting and development plans.
- Scheyer, a 33-year-old Duke alum and former player, has led the program since Coach K’s retirement and says he still has unfinished business, having not yet reached an NCAA title game as a head coach.
