S For Story/10433724
Duke University Men's Basketball Associate Head Coach, Jon Scheyer, Appointed to Position
PHILADELPHIA - s4story -- Josh Schachter, Pittsburgh, PA, and Jake Rauchbach, Chapel Hill, NC – Open Men's Basketball Co-Chairs for the 21st Maccabiah – are pleased to announce the appointment of Associate Head Coach of Duke University's Men's Basketball program, Jon Scheyer, Durham, NC, as Head Coach for the Open Men's Basketball Team for the 21st Maccabiah taking place July 2022 in Israel.
"Jon's pedigree cannot be matched; few people have had such an accomplished career in basketball collectively as a player and coach," stated Schachter, Co-Chair, Open Men's Basketball, 21st Maccabiah. "We could not be more excited to have Jon lead the United States Men's Basketball team at the 2022 Maccabiah. The young men selected to the team will have an opportunity to learn and be mentored by one of the premier basketball minds in the world."
A native of Northbrook, IL, Scheyer led his team to an Illinois High School Association Class AA state basketball championship in his junior year. Jon attended Duke University, where he played for Coach Mike Krzyzewski and led the Blue Devils to two ACC Championships and the 2010 NCAA Championship. Playing in 144 consecutive games, Scheyer earned All-American honors and ended his time at Duke as the only player in school history to record at least 2,000 points, 500 rebounds, 400 assists, 250 three-point field goals and 200 steals.

Scheyer returned to Duke as Special Assistant in 2013; he has since been elevated to Associate Head Coach. Jon has been integral in recruiting/developing Duke standouts, including Jayson Tatum and Luke Kennard, both selected in the 2017 NBA Draft.
"I am honored to represent the United States in the Maccabiah," Scheyer said. "Playing in the Maccabiah was always something I aspired to do during my own playing career, and to now participate as Head Coach is a dream come true. I can't wait to return to Israel as part of such an incredible tradition and am looking forward to making the USA proud."
