Duke coach Jon Scheyer continues to make interesting and savvy moves as he gets more comfortable as Duke’s head coach.
Latest example: he has hired Nike’s Rachel Baker as General Manager. She’s exceptionally well qualified.
Aside from Nike, she’s a former athlete herself, she has experience with grassroots basketball and at Nike, worked to help rebrand the WNBA.
Here’s what Scheyer said: “The state of college basketball is growing and changing at an exponential rate. Rachel is a one-of-a-kind talent with unique experience that will provide our players and their families with an unparalleled resource and partner as we navigate new frontiers of college basketball together.
