Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski announced two staff changes Friday, promoting associate coach Jeff Capel to associate head coach and special assistant Jon Scheyer to assistant coach.

The moves were made in response to the departure of associate head coach Steve Wojciechowski, who was hired as Marquette’s head coach April 1.

“We are ecstatic about Jon joining the staff,” Krzyzewski said in a school-issued release. “He was one of the great players to play at Duke – a national champion and a captain not that far removed, so he adds a youthful exuberance to our staff. His knowledge of the game is incredible. I think he will be a terrific teacher and an outstanding recruiter.”

Capel, Scheyer and assistant coach Nate James were all captains as Duke players. Scheyer’s duties last season included assisting the coaching staff in developing game strategies, breaking down game film, planning practices and contributing in staff meetings.

“It is such an honor to be back at Duke as an assistant coach,” Scheyer said. “To think that I have not only had the opportunity to play here but also come back to be a coach and help the guys go through the same process I went through is an honor for me, and I am excited. I am going to approach it the same way I did as a player and give it everything I have.

"The special assistant role I had last year really helped me learn everything from scouting to recruiting to on-the-court coaching and then really getting to know our guys. I feel so much more prepared to be an assistant coach after having that year as a special assistant here at Duke.”
