Jeff Capel, Jon Scheyer Discuss Their Friendship And Wednesday’s Duke-Pitt Game

We’ll post our Duke-Pitt preview shortly, but one of the things that will be talked about is the coaching matchup between Jeff Capel and Jon Scheyer.

Both of them played for Duke under Mike Krzyzewski, both went to a national championship game (Capel lost while Scheyer won his) and both were assistants to Kryzyzewski before becoming head coaches.

Good friends, they spent time Monday talking about each other and their teams.

They both obviously draw on their Duke experience. Capel continues Coach K’s philosophy of not defining players by position other than point guard, which he says is the only real position left in the game.
