An Open Letter from Head Coach Jon Scheyer
To the Duke Blue Devils, Our Fans, and the Entire Duke Community
Dear Duke Family,
As I reflect on this past year, I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. The journey we’ve walked together has been filled with growth, adversity, learning, and triumph. And through every moment, one thing has remained constant—your unwavering support.
To my players: You are the foundation of this program. Every day, you show up with grit, discipline, and heart. You’ve trusted the process, embraced the challenge, and honored the Duke jersey with passion and pride. Your dedication has not only made me a better coach but a better leader. The Brotherhood is strong because of who you are—on and off the court.
To the fans: Cameron Indoor is not just a place—it’s an experience, a sanctuary of energy, history, and emotion. Whether you were on your feet in Section 17 or cheering from across the globe, you made your presence felt. Thank you for bringing that fire to every game, for standing behind us through the highs and lows, and for never letting our players forget what Duke pride looks and feels like.
To the broader Duke community—students, faculty, alumni, and staff: Thank you for creating an environment where growth is nurtured, where character matters, and where excellence is the standard. From the classroom to the court, Duke is more than a university—it’s a place where people are molded, challenged, and empowered.
To my family and loved ones: Your support has been my anchor. You’ve carried me through the pressures and responsibilities of this role, and I am forever grateful for your strength, patience, and unconditional love.
This season, like every season at Duke, was about more than just basketball. It was about legacy, leadership, and living up to a tradition that has shaped generations. Every win, every setback, every lesson was part of something greater: building a program that reflects the values we hold dear.
I am proud of what we accomplished—but I am even more motivated by what lies ahead. The journey continues. The standard remains. And together, we’ll keep striving for greatness, not just in the final score, but in the lives we impact and the culture we carry forward.
Thank you for believing in me, in this team, and in the mission we share.
With deep appreciation and love,
Jon Scheyer
