Duke men’s basketball head coach Jon Scheyer has been named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Board of Directors, the organization announced Wednesday. Scheyer joins eight other coaches across all three NCAA divisions, officially beginning his term on September 2 during the Board’s annual fall meeting.
The NABC Board of Directors serves as the leadership arm of the association, guiding strategic decisions, daily operations, and national advocacy efforts.
“As college athletics and the game of basketball undergo unprecedented transformation, it’s vital that coaches continue to present a unified voice and demonstrate sound national leadership,” said NABC Executive Director Craig Robinson. “These nine coaches were identified by their peers as ideal candidates to represent our over 5,000 members on the NABC Board of Directors, and their diverse perspectives will strengthen the NABC’s efforts to support the profession and grow the sport.”
Scheyer, a former Duke All-American and two-time team captain, became the 20th head coach in program history in June 2021, taking over for Hall of Famer Mike Krzyzewski. Now entering his fourth season, Scheyer has already delivered one of the most impressive starts to a head coaching career in college basketball.
In 2024-25, he led the Blue Devils to a 35-4 record, an ACC regular-season and tournament title sweep, and the program’s 18th Final Four appearance. Duke became just the sixth team in school history to reach 35 wins. Scheyer also became the first coach in ACC history to win two conference tournament championships within his first three seasons.
With 89 career wins, Scheyer now shares the NCAA Division I record for most victories through three seasons with Brad Stevens (Butler) and Brad Underwood (Stephen F. Austin). His achievements earned him the 2025 John McLendon National Coach of the Year Award.
Scheyer has been part of Duke’s coaching staff since 2013, holding roles as special assistant, assistant coach, and associate head coach before ascending to the top job. His leadership both on and off the court continues to shape the future of Duke basketball—and now, with his NABC appointment, the direction of the sport nationally.
