With Coach K gone, Jon Scheyer has Duke basketball under construction

DURHAM, N.C. -- Jon Scheyer had to climb the steps.

Not just in his life or career -- like getting to where he is now, the new coach of Duke's men's basketball program since Coach K's retirement in April -- but the actual steps that lead to his office on the fifth floor of the Michael W. Krzyzewski Center.

The building is undergoing changes and has shut down the elevators, so it takes Scheyer more time than normal to reach his destination: an office that sits one floor beneath the one Mike Krzyzewski, who recruited him and led him to a national title as a player and subsequently made him one of his assistants before naming him his successor, still keeps.
