Duke, Scheyer Agree to Two-Year Contract Extension

DURHAM, N.C. – Duke University Vice President, King-Compton Families Director of Athletics Nina King announced Thursday that men's basketball head coach Jon Scheyer has agreed to a two-year contract extension through the 2030-31 season.
Scheyer, who completed his third season at the helm in 2024-25, has rapidly established himself among the sport's premier coaches, guiding the Blue Devils to one of the most dominant campaigns in program history and the school's 18th Final Four appearance, becoming the youngest head coach to reach the Final Four since 2011. Under his leadership, Duke posted a 35-4 overall record, captured both the ACC regular-season championship (19-1) and the ACC Tournament title, and spent two weeks ranked No. 1 nationally before finishing No. 3 in the final AP poll.
"Jon's remarkable impact over his first three seasons has positioned Duke Basketball for sustained excellence, and we are proud to ensure his leadership well into the future," King said. "He has delivered championships and national prominence, and he continues to lead a program built on character, connection and a relentless pursuit of greatness. Jon's vision for Duke Basketball aligns perfectly with our highest aspirations, and we couldn't be more excited for the future of this program under his leadership."
Scheyer's tenure has been defined by historic achievements and remarkable consistency. With 89 wins in his first three seasons, he is tied for the most victories by a Division I head coach over that span, matching Brad Stevens (Butler) and Brad Underwood (Stephen F. Austin). Scheyer is also the winningest head coach through three seasons in Duke history and owns the program's best winning percentage (.802) over that period.
The Blue Devils have been a statistical powerhouse under Scheyer's leadership. Duke led the nation in scoring margin (+20.5) in 2024-25 — the third-best mark in school history — while becoming the first team in ACC history to lead the conference in both scoring offense (83.2) and scoring defense (62.8). The team also ranked in the top 25 nationally in 13 categories, set the program record for assist-to-turnover ratio (+1.82), and posted the second-highest KenPom net rating (39.29) since the site began tracking in 1996-97.
Scheyer, who was named the 2024-25 John McLendon National Coach of the Year, is the only head coach in ACC history to win two conference tournament titles in his first three seasons.
