Lapchick Character Award / One Month From Today

Mike Vaccaro / Sunday, September 8 New York Post:



Well worth your looking into: ex-Georgia Tech coach Bobby Cremins, longtime CBS voice Verne Lundquist and longtime UConn women’s assistant basketball coach Chris Dailey will be honored at the Joe Lapchick Character Award luncheon Sept. 20, named for the godfather of New York basketball and held at the Yale Club, starting at noon.

What's really a shame is that Bobby Knight lists Joe Lapchick as one of three coach uies he modeled himself after and admires. He would never win this award, but there are probably more reasons to give it to him than not. Unfortunately, the reasons not will deny him.

However, based on Knight's own words I would think Mr. Lapchick would be very pleased with Knight as a choice.
