“I don’t expect this to be easy. I don’t expect to be given anything. We do not expect to be given anything. But I’m always going to show up and do whatever it takes to succeed at the highest level here, with the standard that’s been set at Duke.”
That’s Jon Scheyer talking today at an event unique in Duke sports history.
Duke formally introduced Jon Scheyer as the Coach in Waiting for Duke’s men’s basketball. Scheyer hit all the right notes, discussing both the upcoming transition season and the post-Krzyzewski era.
Outgoing AD Kevin White said that Duke employed Todd Turner’s Collegiate Sports Associates to lead the search for Mike Krzyzewski’s replacement, as they have for every Duke coaching vacancy during White’s tenure at Duke.
