Yea, I got an invite yesterday too. At $1500 per, I don’t think I’ll be making it. Congrats coach.

I guess the 50K for a VIP table is too much? But you get lunch AND dinner for eight. And a photo.My emotions yesterday when I opened the invite:
- really nice invitation is this a wedding?
- interesting event, was not previously aware of it
- wow some major people are involved, Jerry Colangelo, Phil Knight, Coach K.
- hmmm honorary co-chairs are Melo, Bing, and Hop!
- Coach B. being honored...awesome!
- June 18th, yes I can go to the gala after work!
- waaaah waaah, $1500 a ticket
- that was fun while it lasted
Sounds great and quite a lineup. Since you have been involved with the program and Coach for so many years, I was curious if you have that one special piece of memorabilia that you cherish? Don’t mean to pry or be nosey.Have not seen this article posted here, so I will post it.
It was a fabulous evening. I've been to dozens (scores?) of such dinners ... but this was the best ever. All the speakers, who included Coach K, Bob Costas, PJ Carlissimo, Dave Bing and Sean McDonough, were great.
Watch: Boeheim raves about Mike Hopkins, Buddy at award dinner
Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim offered some heart-warming thoughts about Mike Hopkins and Buddy Boeheim as he was honored by the National Association of Basketball Coaches on Tuesday night.www.syracuse.com
I have a 2003 National Championship ring (with my name on it) that I wear as a pendant on a gold chain around my neck. (JB had rings made into pendants for his sister, wife, daughters and a few close friends).Sounds great and quite a lineup.
