“That’s What You Want to See in Somebody That’s Gonna Be a Head Coach”: Jayson Tatum Opens Up on His Close Bond with Duke HC Jon Scheyer

January 22, 2025

In a candid conversation with the media earlier this week, Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum opened up about his deep connection with Duke University head coach Jon Scheyer, reflecting on their enduring relationship that extends beyond the college basketball court.

Tatum, one of the NBA’s brightest young stars and a former Blue Devil standout, shared how his time at Duke helped shape not only his basketball career but also his growth as a person. However, it was his bond with Scheyer—who succeeded the legendary Mike Krzyzewski as Duke’s head coach in 2022—that stood out the most.

“Coach Scheyer has been like a big brother to me,” Tatum said, his voice filled with genuine warmth. “That’s what you want to see in somebody who’s going to be a head coach: someone who genuinely cares about the players, both on and off the court. He’s always been there for me, even after I left for the NBA, which speaks to his character. It’s a rare quality in coaches these days.”

Tatum’s time at Duke from 2016 to 2017, under Coach K’s final season, was transformative for his career. The young forward entered the NBA draft after one season, leaving a significant impact on the program. While his on-court performance was impressive, it was the mentorship of Coach Scheyer—who was an assistant under Krzyzewski during Tatum’s time at Duke—that had the lasting influence.

Now, with Scheyer at the helm, Tatum has seen firsthand how the former Duke point guard has taken the reins and established his own identity as a head coach. Despite the inevitable comparisons to Coach K, Scheyer has quickly garnered respect both from his players and peers, leading the Blue Devils to consistent success in the post-Krzyzewski era.

“Jon’s been nothing but a great mentor,” Tatum continued. “Even when I left for the NBA, he kept in touch, giving me advice. He was always someone I could reach out to, and to see him grow into this role as head coach… I’m proud of him. He’s doing a great job at Duke, and I know they’re going to keep winning with him in charge.”

Scheyer, for his part, has been vocal about the importance of building strong relationships with his players, an approach that resonates with Tatum’s own experiences. The Blue Devils have flourished under his leadership, remaining one of the premier programs in college basketball, and his coaching style has continued to emphasize player development, discipline, and a strong team-first mentality.

The admiration between the two is mutual. Scheyer has often praised Tatum for his work ethic and leadership on and off the court, crediting him as one of the most dedicated players to ever wear a Duke jersey.

“Jayson is the epitome of what we want our players to be at Duke: committed to getting better, focused on his craft, and a leader for the next generation,” Scheyer said in a recent interview. “I’ve always been proud of what he’s accomplished in the NBA, but to see the person he’s become, that’s what I’m most proud of.”

As the NBA season continues, Tatum’s success story serves as a testament to the lasting impact of a coach who prioritizes relationships. And for Duke, with Scheyer now leading the charge, the future looks bright as they continue to build on the foundation laid by Coach K while creating their own legacy of excellence.
