Just announced on the George Plaster Show on 104.5 The Zone, Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski will be the next speaker at the third annual Don Meyer Evening of Excellence.

Krzyzewski has posted a 888-281 record over his career, second behind his mentor, Bob Knight.
He is known as a motivator, mentor and friend to all players that he has coached. On his official site, CoachK.com, one of the quotes listed reads:
“When you are passionate, you always have your destination in sight and you are not distracted by obstacles. Because you love what you are pursuing, things like rejection and setbacks will not hinder you in your pursuit. You believe that nothing can stop you!”
The event will take place on Saturday, April 16 at Lipscomb’s Allen Arena. Tim Tebow was the speaker at the event in 2010.
