Jon Scheyer has led Duke to the Final Four just three years into his tenure.

Scheyer is the smoothest, most successful transition from legend to replacement in the history of sports.

He will lead Duke out of the tunnel and onto the court for a Final Four game against Houston on Saturday night .

The Duke team is without any connection to the Krzyzewski era.

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski announced his retirement in the summer of 2021 but gave himself one more season to coach.

Duke is now in the Final Four for the first time in three years .

Coach Mike Scheyer was the point guard in 2010 for the fourth Duke championship team.

Duke has not been a straight line to the top for Duke in the post-Krzyzewski era.

Some of the recruits in Scheyer ’s first couple of classes fell short of expectations.

But in just his third year as a head coach, Scheyer has proven he can handle the pressure of running a blueblood program.
