Duke coach Jon Scheyer agreed to a contract extension through the 2028-29 season, ESPN reported on Friday.
Scheyer, 36, is beginning his second season as the replacement for legendary Mike Krzyzewski.
Duke went 27-9 in Scheyer’s first season as coach. The Blue Devils reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament before losing 65-52 to Tennessee.
Duke won the Atlantic Coast Conference postseason tournament, making Scheyer the first person to win the conference tournament title as both a player (2009, 2010) and a coach.
Duke hasn’t announced the extension but the school is holding its annual Countdown to Craziness event on Friday night inside Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, N.C.
Scheyer was a standout player who scored 2,077 career points for the Blue Devils from 2006-10 and joined the Duke coaching staff as an assistant prior to the 2013-14 season. He became associate head coach prior to the 2018-19 season and was announced as the eventual replacement for Coach K in June 2021.
