This from the Penn State equivalent of goduke.com

ESPN taping set for June 20 at Penn State (http://www.gopsusports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/060811aaa.html)


The event will allow the two Hall of Fame coaches to talk about teaching leadership and teamwork, among other subjects. Along with the audience at Eisenhower Auditorium, Duke students and community members will be able to participate and watch the taping, thanks to Cisco Telepresence technology, from Room 119-Telecom Building on campus in Durham, N.C.

The coaches agreed to participate in the session in large part because of its student-centered focus, and the taping will include time for questions from students from both universities.

In addition to Paterno and Krzyzewski, the show will include thoughts from guests who have had personal experiences with each coach. Matt Millen and Michael Robinson, who played for Coach Paterno, and Jay Bilas and Jay Williams, who played for Coach Krzyzewski, are scheduled to appear.



Two great coaches and great men.

There are some details in the link that I posted from gopsusports.com.

Goduke.com also has the story (http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?&ATCLID=205157983&DB_OEM_ID=4200)

I liked the quote from ESPN host Rece Davis:

Davis said, "I'm looking forward to the rare chance to have two of the most influential figures in sports share life lessons. The impact that Coach Paterno and Coach K have had on their players outside the competitive arena will be a major part of their legacies. I look forward to hearing how they have adapted to the times in terms of motivation, leadership and team-building. I'm honored to be part of what I'm certain will be a thought-provoking and entertaining discussion between two guys who define class, winning and integrity."
