It might soon be time to offer a raise to one Duke basketball staff member.

Two weeks ago, Ball Durham noted that Duke basketball associate head coach and Chicago-area native Jon Scheyer has seen his name pop up in numerous articles speculating on potential candidates to fill a few coaching vacancies throughout the Midwest.

Now, according to a tweet on Monday from the Coaching Changes account — an invaluable resource right now as countless heads tend to roll around this time of year — it appears as if Scheyer has indeed interviewed to take over the DePaul basketball program, which parted ways with Dave Leitao a week ago and is located in the heart of the Windy City.
