Krzyzewski, who has won more games than any coach in men's basketball history, will be honored the same night the Wayman Tisdale Freshman of the Year Award will be presented in an event at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. The Tisdale awards are presented by Devon and the banquet is hosted by the Oklahoma City Downtown Club.
The Humanitarian Award honors an individual involved in college basketball who has made a significantly positive impact on society. Legendary ESPN and hall of fame announcer Dick Vitale received the inaugural award last year. The award's namesake, Wayman Tisdale, died in May 2009 after a two-year battle with cancer.
