Interview- Former NSU basketball head coach Don Meyer

Don Meyer is currently the winningest coach in any division in NCAA history. In February 2010 Meyer announced his retirement from coaching, but continues at NSU in the role of Regents Distinguished Professor and Assistant to the President.

Following a serious car accident and inoperable cancer diagnosis Meyer has received national recognition in various national media outlets - Sports Illustrated, ESPN, FOX Sports, National Public Radio, Associated Press, CBS News just to name a few. In July he was named the winner of the Jimmy V. Perseverance award at the ESPN ESPY's - Meyer used his national spotlight to again promote the community he calls home - Northern State University and Aberdeen, SD.

In April, Meyer was recognized at the NCAA Final Four.

Meyer has been married to his wife Carmen for 42 years. The couple have three children and 8 grandchildren.

This is an interview John and Caden did for KLRN classroom TV with Coach Don Meyer. They had only one day to come up with questions (they were told the day before this filming took place that they had about 24 hours before they would have to interview Don Meyer, so they had to research him and come up with questions) and had never done an interview before. That being the case, it is pretty impressive. They were also the ones who edited it.

Don Meyer gave us the permission to use all of the photos off of his website, and that is where we got them from.

Enjoy!
