MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim will be this fall’s speaker in the Don Nehlen Distinguished Lecturer in Coaching Series presented by West Virginia University’s School of Physical Education and its athletic coaching education program.
Boeheim, speaking on Wednesday, September 15, will address students at 11 a.m. and the public at 7 p.m. at the Erickson Alumni Center. The lectures are free of charge.
The School of Physical Education offers at least one lecture each year in the series, featuring outstanding coaches from professional, collegiate and international sports. The series began in 2001; previous speakers have been Bo Schembechler, Grant Teaff and Dick MacPherson. The series was established to honor Nehlen, who is serving as an adjunct professor in the School of Physical Education after his retirement from coaching in 2000.
