In a passionate and unexpected move, Duke Blue Devils head coach Jon Schleyer has issued a bold and fiery call to the fanbase ahead of what he describes as a “make-or-break” NCAA season.
Speaking at a pre-season rally over the weekend, Schleyer didn’t mince words. “Cameron Indoor needs to be a fortress,” he declared. “If you’re showing up just to take selfies and sit quietly, stay home. We need warriors in the stands.”
Schleyer, known for his intense coaching style and no-nonsense attitude, emphasized that fan energy must match the effort his players are putting in on the court. “This is Duke. We don’t do lukewarm. We lead, we dominate, and that includes our crowd.”
He challenged the Cameron Crazies—the famously passionate Duke student section—to elevate their energy to new heights this season. The coach hinted at new fan engagement initiatives, including choreographed chant nights and even real-time “hype meters” in the arena to keep the noise level high.
The statement sparked intense discussion among fans and analysts alike. While many applauded Schleyer’s rallying cry, others felt the message could have been more inclusive. Still, excitement is building rapidly ahead of the season opener.
Whether you agree with his approach or not, one thing is clear: Coach Jon Schleyer is setting the tone, and he expects nothing less than full-throttle support from every Blue Devils fan.
