Perspective: As Coach K’s exit nears, the storied Duke-North Carolina rivalry prepares for a seismic shift
Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski is getting ready to hand the reins to longtime assistant Jon Scheyer, right.
To Krzyzewski’s left — here at the ACC tournament, next week at the NCAA tournament, all season long — sat Jon Scheyer. This year, Davis was entrusted with the North Carolina half of the sport’s preeminent claw-each-other’s-eyes-out rivalry. Next year, Scheyer will take the clipboard on the Duke half. What happens next?“Jon Scheyer is going to be the next really good coach at Duke,” Krzyzewski said Friday night.
The ACC is the rare college conference that still relishes basketball more than football — the sport that has devoured most of the college athletic landscape because it provides much of the college athletic revenue. So the fiber of the conference has long been the constants who have served as men’s basketball coaches at not only its most prominent programs but on down the standings.Dean Smith was already the czar when Krzyzewski arrived, and the pair battled for two decades.
“And I’ve said before that I want to travel the same road. I’m just going to do it with my own personality and my own shoes.”Those shoes are Jordan Brands, by the way, the most famous sneakers named after the most famous player in history — who happens to be a Tar Heel. No pressure.Davis’s assessment of the task makes perfect sense. It’s just so delicate to pull off.
