The man who is expected to take over for Mike Krzyzewski at Duke is a 33-year-old with no head coaching experience.
He hadn’t begun grade school when Krzyzewski captured his first national title. He wasn’t even born yet when Krzyzewski reached his first Final Four.
Duke assistant coach Jon Scheyer likely inherits the challenge of keeping the Blue Devils near their customary elite level after Krzyzkewsi steps down following a 2021-22 farewell tour. It will be up to Scheyer to keep the Blue Devils consistently in the NCAA tournament and the ACC title hunt and frequently in contention for Final Fours.
