Duke's Jon Scheyer receives contract extension through 2030-31

Jon Scheyer agreed to a two-year contract extension on Thursday that extends his current deal through the 2030-31 season. Scheyer, 38, has posted an 89-22 record in three seasons since succeeding the legendary Mike Krzyzewski as Duke's head coach in 2022. The Blue Devils have punched their ticket to the NCAA Tournament in each of those three years, highlighted by an Elite Eight appearance in 2024 and a Final Four berth last season. Duke captured the Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season and conference tournament titles in 2024-25. The Blue Devils rolled up 35 wins before dropping a 70-67 decision to Houston in the national semifinal. "Jon's remarkable impact over his first three seasons has positioned Duke basketball for sustained excellence, and we are proud to ensure his leadership well into the future," said Nina King, Duke's vice president, director of athletics. "He has delivered championships and national prominence, and he continues to lead a program built on character, connection and a relentless pursuit of greatness. Jon's vision for Duke basketball aligns perfectly with our highest aspirations, and we couldn't be more excited for the future of this program under his leadership." Scheyer was a standout player who scored 2,077 career points for the Blue Devils from 2006-10 and joined the Duke coaching staff as an assistant prior to the 2013-14 season. He became associate head coach prior to the 2018-19 season and was announced as the eventual replacement for Krzyzewski in June 2021.
