Jonathan James Scheyer ({{IPAc-en|'|ʃ|aɪ|.|ər}} {{respell|SHY|ər}}, born August 24, 1987) is an American basketball coach and former professional player who is the head coach for the Duke Blue Devils of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).
As a player, Scheyer led his high school team to an Illinois state basketball championship as a high school All-American, and was the captain of the 2009–10 Duke Blue Devils that won the 2010 NCAA Basketball Championship, as a college All-American. He was a prolific high school scorer, and later an Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) leader in numerous statistical categories, including free-throw percentage, three-point shots/game, and assists/turnover ratio.
The fourth leading scorer in Illinois high school history, he led his team to a state championship in 2005, and was named Illinois Mr. Basketball in 2006. During the same year, Scheyer was voted as one of the 100 Legends of the IHSA Boys Basketball Tournament, a group of former players and coaches in honor of the 100th anniversary of the IHSA boys basketball tournament.
He chose to attend Duke for college, where he moved from shooting guard to point guard toward the end of the 2008–09 season, and was the Most Valuable Player of the 2009 ACC men's basketball tournament.{{cite news |last=Bannon |first=Terry |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/2007/12/16/hes-caught-off-guard/ |title=He's caught off guard; Scheyer adjusting to new role as sub for No. 6 Blue Devils |newspaper=Chicago Tribune |date=December 16, 2007 |access-date=March 15, 2010 |archive-date=May 15, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120515215339/http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2007-12-16/sports/0712150477_1_greg-paulus-jon-scheyer-blue-devils |url-status=live }} In his senior year in 2009–10 as Duke's captain, he led the team to ACC regular season and tournament championships and the NCAA national championship.

High school career
Because Scheyer's talent was obvious by the time he was set to start high school, many people encouraged his parents to move so he could attend a high school with a powerhouse basketball program. The move was recommended so that he would have a greater chance of success. Scheyer shrugged off the suggestion.
Scheyer attended Glenbrook North High School and led the Spartans to an Illinois High School Association Class AA state basketball championship as a junior, a 3rd-place finish in 2003 as a freshman, and an Elite Eight appearance in the state playoffs three out of four years from 2003 to 2006.{{cite news |last=Sakamoto |first=Bob |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/2006/03/24/first-team-8/ |title=First Team – Gym rats raise game – Countless hours of extra practice pay off for Scheyer, Beverley |newspaper=Chicago Tribune |date=March 24, 2006 |access-date=April 27, 2010 |archive-date=May 15, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120515215353/http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2006-03-24/sports/0603240300_1_class-aa-title-simeon-scorer-in-state-history |url-status=live }}{{cite news |last=Sakamoto |first=Bob |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/2006/04/02/mr-basketball-of-illinois-60/ |title=Mr. Basketball of Illinois – Scheyer born to be the best – Tireless competitive spirit carried standout through 4 successful years at Glenbrook N. |newspaper=Chicago Tribune |date=April 2, 2006 |access-date=April 27, 2010 |archive-date=April 30, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100430235458/http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2006-04-02/sports/0604020177_1_mr-basketball-jacobs-dance |url-status=live }} Scheyer was known as the "Jewish Jordan", and the Spartans' state championship team is the only high school state championship basketball squad in the nation known to have included an all-Jewish starting line-up.{{cite news |last=Evans |first=Thayer |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/30/sports/ncaabasketball/30duke.html |title=Jon Scheyer Is Quiet Leader for Duke |newspaper=The New York Times |date=March 30, 2010 |page=B13 |access-date=March 30, 2010 |archive-date=April 1, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100401051819/http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/30/sports/ncaabasketball/30duke.html |url-status=live }}{{cite web |last=King |first=Jason |url=https://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/news?slug=jn-scheyer040110 |title=The fun has just begun for Duke's Scheyer |publisher=Rivals.com |date=April 2, 2010 |access-date=April 4, 2010 |archive-date=April 11, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160411105130/http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/news?slug=jn-scheyer040110 |url-status=live }}{{cite news |last=Pollick |first=Josh |url=http://www.jpost.com/Sports/Article.aspx?id=54903 |title=Jon Scheyer stands out for Duke |newspaper=The Jerusalem Post |date=March 16, 2007 |access-date=April 1, 2010 |archive-date=October 19, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121019150438/http://www.jpost.com/Sports/Article.aspx?id=54903 |url-status=live }}{{cite news|title=These Kids Can Jump |first=Rick |last=Harrison |newspaper=The Forward |date=March 25, 2005 }}
As a freshman, Scheyer led Glenbrook North in scoring and assists and was First Team All-State as a sophomore in 2004. Scheyer was the only non-senior among those First Team All-State selections and was the only underclassman on any of the first three All-State squads. As a junior, he averaged 26 points, five rebounds, and five assists.{{cite web |url=http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=4200&ATCLID=620661 |title=Jon Scheyer |date=September 28, 2006 |publisher=GoDuke.com |access-date=March 15, 2010 |archive-date=September 27, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927210629/http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=4200&ATCLID=620661 |url-status=live }} His coach David Weber said, "I call him a combination of Larry Bird and 'Pistol' Pete (Maravich).

One example of his dogged pursuit of excellence is that while in high school, Scheyer refused to leave the gym one night until he made 50 consecutive free throws.{{cite web |last=King |first=Jason |url=https://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/news?slug=jn-scheyer040110 |title=The fun has just begun for Duke's Scheyer - College Basketball - Rivals.com |publisher=Rivals.yahoo.com |date=April 6, 2010 |access-date=April 27, 2010 |archive-date=April 11, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160411105130/http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/news?slug=jn-scheyer040110 |url-status=live }} After finally hitting 49 in a row, he missed on his final attempt. His father encouraged him to join him and go home, but – as his coach recalled – "Jon looked at him and said, 'No. I'm starting over.' Then he stayed until he made 50 in a row."
Scheyer is the fourth-leading scorer in Illinois history with 3,034 points, and he is the only player in state history to finish his career ranked in the all-time top 10 in points (4th), rebounds, assists (6th), and steals (7th). He was named Illinois Mr. Basketball in 2006 by an overwhelming margin (receiving 217 votes, to 17 for the second-place finisher), a high school All-American, a two-time Gatorade state Player of the Year, and a three-time All-State selection. He had a reputation as an exceptional 3-point shooter, a good defensive rebounder, and a big-game performer.{{cite web |url=http://www.highschoolelite.com/2006/scheyer.html |title=Jon Scheyer |publisher=Highschoolelite.com |access-date=March 15, 2010 |archive-date=July 11, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110711165614/http://www.highschoolelite.com/2006/scheyer.html |url-status=live }} In naming him to the Illinois First-Team for the decade, ESPN wrote that he was "one of the greatest Illinois high school players of all-time". He was also named to the century-list, the "100 Legends of Illinois Basketball (1908–2007)". Illinois Warriors coach Larry Butler said: "Jon Scheyer is one of the most prolific scorers I've seen in Illinois high school basketball. He was just the ultimate team player.

Scheyer's offensive game is amazing ... He hits jumpers from all manner of pogo-stick angles. He can hit runners while shooting back across his body. He can drive and finish in acrobatic ways.

College career
Scheyer's final four college choices were Arizona, Duke, Illinois, and Wisconsin. On the one hand, his connection with Illinois was strengthened by the fact that his high school coach was Illinois coach Bruce Weber's brother. In addition, when he had been in junior high school, he had really disliked Duke's team, because all his friends liked Duke and he wanted to be different.{{cite magazine|last=Patrick|first=Dan|author-link=Dan Patrick (sportscaster)|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/danpatrick/blog/103241/index.html?loc=interstitialskip|title=Scheyer admits he once hated Duke; talks about Purdue|date=March 23, 2010|series=The Dan Patrick Show|magazine=Sports Illustrated|access-date=March 23, 2010|archive-date=November 2, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121102101510/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/danpatrick/blog/103241/index.html?loc=interstitialskip|url-status=dead}} Working in favor of Duke, however, was the fact that its assistant coach Chris Collins had also attended Glenbrook North.

He was an ACC All-Freshman Team selection, and was named "ACC Rookie of the Week" three times. He tied for second on the team with 39 steals, and averaged 12.2 points per game (third-best on the team). He also tied the Duke freshman record by making 115 free throws, and holds the third-longest streak for consecutive free throws made in Duke history at 40. Though not naturally a point guard, Scheyer spent some time playing the point due to lack of depth at that position. "It was a learning experience," Scheyer said. "It made me more confident bringing the ball up the court."
