Duke University and men’s basketball coach Jon Scheyer agreed to a six-year contract extension to keep him in Durham through the 2028-29 season, as first reported by ESPN on Friday.
The second-year coach led the storied program to a 27-9 record a year ago, including victories in 14 of the Blue Devils’ 20 ACC games and a conference tournament title. The Blue Devils reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament before they lost to Tennessee.
Duke sits No. 3 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll ahead of the 2023-24 season.
Scheyer had the unenviable task of following legendary coach Mike Krzyzewski, who led Duke to five national championships over his 42 years as the program’s head coach.
Scheyer’s second season in Durham gets underway on November 6 against Dartmouth.
