Duke assistant coach Jon Scheyer was thought by some to be in the mix for the Pitt job as recently as Monday, but those rumors have been put to rest.
After some initial chatter on social media, the first notable outlet to pass along the rumor was Barstool Sports, which claimed that Scheyer had been offered the position. However, that was quickly refuted by Paul Zeise of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, who said that any reports the Duke assistant had been offered the job were “emphatically and absolutely not true.”
OK here is what I can confirm.
