ESPN will air a candid discussion between arguably the two greatest living coaches in college sport—Penn State's Joe Paterno and Duke's own Mike Krzyzewski—in a special on June 30 the Duke Sports Information Department announced today.
The special, entitled "Difference Makers: Life Lessons with Paterno & Krzyzewski" will begin at 8 p.m. on ESPN and continue for an additional half hour on ESPNU. The show will be shot in front of an invite-only audience at the Eisenhower Auditorium on Penn State's campus.
“These leaders have achieved an extraordinary level of success, but their biggest accomplishments are the lessons they have learned along the way and the passion they have for sharing those lessons with others,” said Dan Steir, ESPN senior coordinating producer. “Difference Makers will reveal the essence of both men and what motivates them to continue to impact those around them."
Former Blue Devils Jay Bilas and Jay Williams are scheduled to appear as guests during the special.
