In just three years, Jon Scheyer has emerged as one of the top coaches in the country.
That might not come as a surprise to those who have followed the former Duke basketball guard, who played and coached under legendary Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski. And the stats back it up.
The third-year Duke coach holds a winning percentage of .809 and holds several ACC records for head coaches in their first three seasons manning the sidelines, including most overall wins (89). He's also just the third person in men's NCAA Tournament history to coach his alma mater in the Final Four after playing in the national semifinals.
