Did Jon Scheyer win a national championship in the NCAA Tournament at Duke as a player? Here's a look back at the now-Blue Devils coach's playing career.
The Duke basketball phenom is only the fourth freshman to become the AP National Player of the Year. It’s been an outstanding season thus far for Cooper Flagg and Jon Scheyer's Duke basketball program, now just a day away from battling the fellow No. 1 seed Houston Cougars at the Final Four in San Antonio's Alamodome.
Before Duke coach Jon Scheyer coached in his first official game after taking over for Mike Krzyzewski, he flew his team to Houston to play in a secret preseason scrimmage. Scheyer intentionally sought out Kelvin Sampson and the Cougars for his first career "game.
