Mike Krzyzewski and Queens (N.Y.)’s Lucille Kyvallos are scheduled to receive the Lapchick Award for character. The winners of the eighth annual award were announced last Monday and will be presented Nov. 20 in New York at the 2K Classic, benefiting the Wounded Warrior Project.
The Joe Lapchick Character Award Foundation is committed to encouraging and promoting good character in the sport of basketball. Each November the foundation recognizes a group of iconic basketball figures, from all levels of men’s and women’s basketball, who have demonstrated honorable character throughout their careers much like the legendary Coach Joe Lapchick.
