Duke coach Jon Scheyer escalated his response to a local district attorney after the DA said there was “zero evidence” to support Scheyer’s earlier claim that Duke staffers were punched during a recent court storming at North Carolina.
Speaking about the dispute, Scheyer said he “could have said even more,” pushing back on the DA’s characterization and standing by the concerns he raised following the incident.
Dispute centers on postgame court storming
The back-and-forth traces to a court-storming scene at UNC that prompted Scheyer to say Duke personnel were struck amid the crowd. The district attorney later publicly challenged that account, stating there was no evidence to substantiate it.
Scheyer’s latest remarks underscore the ongoing disagreement over what occurred during the storming and how it has been described in the days since.
