Watch these ACC players try...funny...I think Wojo's name is tougher. Once you nail the ZYZ, K's name is pretty basic, as he points out at the end.

Nice typo in the thread title...I guess that says it all.

~20 years ago, my then young teenaged daughter could spell Krzyzewski, Wojciechowski AND Domzalski in about 4 seconds total, and you could hear each letter succinctly. It was amazing. I had her do it for Julio at halftime of a game one time. He was impressed, as we all were! :cool:

Have your daughter contact me for support group info if she's interested.

Back when I did my Navy ROTC plebe week at Duke (my father, who was a USNA graduate and who had Alan Shepherd as his personal plebe summer demon-tormentor, still scoffs at even calling that week anything other than summer camp, but I digress) one of the things that we could be commanded to do at any moment by a bristling Gunnery Sergeant was "SPELL KRZYZEWSKI"
"Sir, K R Z Y..."
"SIR?! DO I LOOK LIKE AN OFFICER TO YOU?! I WORK FOR A LIVING!"
"Gunnery Sergeant, no, Gunnery Sergreant!"
"NO? I DON'T LOOK LIKE I WORK FOR A LIVING?"
"Gunnery Sergeant, yes, I mean no, I mean..."
"DEAR GOD DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH?!"
"Gunnery Sergeant..."
"SPELL KRZYZEWSKI!!!!!"
Good times!

"Our students can't spell Krzyzewski... theirs can't spell Smith"
A classic from Francis Redding, circa 1995

I remember when Craig Kilborn had his late night show he had Coach K on there and during his nightly feature of "5 Questions" one of them was to spell his name. There was a nice rhythm to it - K, R.....Z, Y, Z....E, W....S, K, I.

I'd have to sift through a lot of old 35mm prints, but I think I have a picture of that on the old scoreboard.

I think that Dawkins should start over Thornton in the next spelling bee; he would have brought it home with a W.
Nick Faust: "Kreyschewizzle." By far the best one.

My parlor trick was spelling it backwards, fast!

Wasn't that a McDonald's commercial? ;)

I have been using that trick, like forever, it seems. It's so easy that way.

I'm reminded of this delightful old chestnut:
Wow! That had WAY less production value than I remember it having, though. But still a great riff on the original commercial! Thanks for the memories.
