For its annual Sportsman of the Year honor, Sports Illustrated simply could not choose between two iconic coaches. Pat Summitt and Mike Krzyzewski have been named by the magazine as Sportsman of the Year.
Last month, Coach Mike Krzyzewski set the all-time Division I mark for coaching victories, less than two years after leading Duke to another national title.
Coach Pat Summitt, meanwhile, put her stamp on 2011 in a more personal way. She was diagnosed with early-onset dementia but despite that, she announced in August that she will continue her legendary coaching career.
Krzyzewski, Summitt, John Wooden and Dean Smith are the only coaches to receive this award from the famous publication.by FW Editor |
