Two Wonderful Moments From Saturday

Related Topics: Syracuse, Mike Krzyzewski, St. Marys

There were two things Saturday that we really wanted to talk about and haven’t yet.

The first seems obvious: what Syracuse did to honor Mike Krzyzewski with a scholarship.

That was really very kind and, we’re sure, touching to the Krzyzewski family.

The Captain Michael Krzyzewski Award for Leadership and Civic Engagement. It will go to someone who was or is militarily affiliated and “who through their actions and aspirations embodies Coach Krzyzewski’s public and demonstrated commitment to the virtues of honor, empathy, and servant-leadership.”

That’s something that will last a long time and may take on added prestige as time goes by.
