Coach Jon Scheyer is leading Duke to the Final Four for the first time as head coach, a full-circle moment in his storied Blue Devils career. As a player, Scheyer was a key member of Duke’s 2010 national championship team, known for his sharp shooting and steady leadership. Now, in just his third season as head coach, the John McLendon National Coach of the Year has guided his team back to the sport’s biggest stage, with hopes of bringing home the team’s sixth championship title.
