Coach Meyer

The following video is from ESPN's ESPY Awards. It's about 10 minutes long, but it's worth it. This year's Jimmy V Award winner is Northern State University Men's Basketball Coach Don Meyer. My wife's parents are friends with Coach Meyer. We've met Coach Meyer, and he's always been terrific with our kids. He is a genuinely good man, and we're proud to see him get this award.

Coach Meyer has won more men's basketball games than anybody else in NCAA men's basketball history, but that's not why he won this award. As you'll see from the video, Coach Meyer has had an unbelievably difficult past 10 months, but he's gotten through it because of his faith, his family and his friends. This video really speaks for itself, so I'll stop rambling on now.

When they say he's the best coach nobody knows, it's true. He was coaching in Tennessee when Pat Summit started and she credits him as one of the main reasons she became a successful coach, Bobby Knight said if he was an Athletic Director, the first thing he'd do is try to sign Coach Meyer, NBA coaches use the training films Coach Meyer made to teach their players, his clinics are one of the most sought after in the country. But, he wants to coach at smaller schools where character not counting wins is what's most important. And, he truly is a gifted and generous man.
