I'm a longtime reader of this board going back to our usenet days, albeit I seldom post.

When I submitted, I made note not only of his superlative collegiate coaching career, but also how he used his basketball career as a vehicle for education and social impact:
-many years of service and advocacy for Cancer Research via Coaches vs Cancer
-member of the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Greater Philadelphia Board of Directors
-teaching at the Wharton Executive Education Program and Wharton Department of Management
-teaching at the Fox School of Business at Temple University
if you might agree, I'd encourage you to do the same!
