Following retirement of a legend, Jon Scheyer seeks to forge own identity as first-year coach of Blue Devils.
Krzyzewski still has an office at Cameron Indoor Stadium, providing a gentle reminder of the 1,202 wins, five national championships, 13 Final Four appearances and 15 ACC tournament titles he collected before he retired after last season and left the program in the hands of his top assistant.
Conversations with Collins and Krzyzewski convinced Scheyer his best crack at winning a national championship would be at Duke. So committed to that result was Scheyer that he moved to point guard during his freshman season because of a dearth of depth at the position.By the time he was a senior, Scheyer drew copious praise from Krzyzewski for his command of the position, particularly when it came to decision-making in the most meaningful instances.
“I’m excited that they believed in the vision that we had,” Scheyer said. “Of course what Duke basketball stands for and what Duke University is all about, but at the end of the day I couldn’t show who I am as a basketball coach, so a lot comes down to the relationships we’ve built and the trust that we’ve developed.”Krzyzewski’s departure leaves the ACC without its highest-profile coach one season after another luminary, Roy Williams, unexpectedly retired from North Carolina.
