Duke head coach Jon Scheyer said Thursday that he remains committed to leading the Blue Devils, describing the job as his “dream job” and saying he is in it for the “long haul.”
Scheyer’s comments followed an offseason in which he was pursued by the Dallas Mavericks. The interest from the NBA franchise did not alter his public stance on his future at Duke, where he has continued to emphasize his connection to the program.

By calling Duke his “dream job,” Scheyer made clear that he views his current role as more than a stepping stone. His statement also provided a direct response to questions about outside interest following the Mavericks’ pursuit.
Scheyer has been a central figure in Duke basketball, and his remarks signal stability for a program that remains one of the most prominent in college basketball. For now, his focus remains on the Blue Devils and the long-term direction of the team.
