Mike Krzyzewski's retirement in 2022 signified a transition for Duke basketball, as he stepped back to let Jon Scheyer take the reins. After decades of dominance, Krzyzewski has maintained a low profile, attending few practices and no games until recently. This strategic withdrawal has fostered Scheyer's development as a coach, creating a space for a new era at Duke while keeping their bond strong. Scheyer acknowledges Krzyzewski’s influence, attributing part of Duke's return to the Final Four and betting success to this supportive dynamic.
Krzyzewski's retirement led him to intentionally step back from Duke basketball, allowing Jon Scheyer to lead the program without his overshadowing presence.
Coach K, now 78, remains available for advice but has chosen to let Scheyer's coaching style develop independently.
