Krzyzewski, Summitt Named SI Sportsman/Sportswoman Of The Year

Dec 5, 2011 6:19 PM

Mike Krzyzewski and Pat Summitt were selected by Sports Illustrated to their Sportsman/Sportswoman of the Year

"Of course there's an element of the lifetime achievement award in SI's choice," writes Alexander Wolff. "How could there not be? Summitt has put her stamp on women's basketball for 38 seasons, from the days when the sport was sometimes referred to as "women's extramurals," and her Lady Vols were asked, during a 1979 game at LSU when their prelim to the men went into overtime, to move to an auxiliary gym so the guys could tip off on time.

"As for Krzyzewski, with four more seasons he will complete 40 years as a collegiate head coach. He won his fourth and unlikeliest national title in 2010, and -- oh, by the way -- sandwiched around it two almost criminally underappreciated international gold medals, at the 2008 Olympics and 2010 World Championships, as head coach of a U.S. national team program that had been in steady decline. No other coach has ever won the Olympics, the NCAAs and the Worlds -- and Coach K did so in a span of 26 months."
