Thank you Lefty. You made Maryland basketball a tradition. May you rest in peace.
Sad sad day for all Maryland fans. Lefty was Maryland basketball. He is a legend. God bless the lefthanders family.
I almost cried hearing Coach Driesells speech. Very down to earth and free . He takes me back to a beautiful period of DMV sports during the 1980s
HTTR...go CAPS, go NATS, go Bullets...and HAIL TO THE REDSKINS (two forbidden words in one sentence!)
I did.
I used to see Lefty driving his Caddy on New Hampshire Ave in Silver Spring on my way back from class at Maryland. He would smile and wave the few times we both were stopped side by side at a traffic light. Fifty years later that smile and wave remains with me like it was happened yesterday. Congrats Lefty, you earned it!!!!
Best speech. Hands down 😂😂😂
Man, he's got the best sense of humor. Go Lefty!
RIP to Lefty's Wife, Joyce who passed away today.
RIP to Lefty, who passed away today.
No speech better then that. Dare anyone to find one better
Best HOF speech of any sport I’ve seen. Totally a fan of this genuine guy!
LEGEND. Terp nation loves and thanks you Lefty
Just shed a few tears watching this, RIP Lefty, go terps.
My favorite dukie. RIP Coach.
Lefty invented College Basketball in the Washington, DC area. John Thompson took it to another level..
Best hof speech man RIP Lefty
I remember the day they announced on tv that a new coach was coming to Maryland University--not hearing his name to well, I asked my husband, “did you know that they have named Lefty Frizzell the new coach at Maryland???? My husband just looked at me, dying laughing, and said: “RJ, it is not Lefty Frizzell but, Lefty DRIESELL.
😂😂great speech. Lefty is the Man!!
Love his sense of humor
Unreal speech. RIP to a legend
What a storyteller !! RIP
good old granpa life was good to him and he didnt become old grumpy granpa
What is MOST REMARKABLE about Coach Lefty 🏀 is the fact he immensely enjoyed taking deserving world-class student/athletes 🏀out of impoverished environments and privileged country club estates forming formidable university, multi-faceted JUGGERNAUT 🏀 TEAMS. Coach Driesell made talented 6'11" Power forward/Center TAYLOR BALDWIN available for me in the 1981 URBAN COALITION SUMMER PRO 🏀 LEAGUE which allowed the 7-Eleven BIG GULPS 🏀 TEAM to compete against university 🏀 All-Americans, Overseas 🏀 Professionals, NBA draft choices & current players. Coach Lefty's genuine humility, trustworthiness & Visionary Leadership gave him an ALL-ACCESS PASS around some of the MOST DANGEROUS environments on PLANET EARTH🌎 🗺where he consistently discovered/unearthed world🌎 class 🏀 PRODIGIES 🌎whom everyone {other 🏀 coaches} else overlooked/incorrectly assessed their 🏀 potential. Coach Lefty: One of Humanity's GREATEST 👍 👌 🏆 Contributions ✝️.
RIP Lefty. You were one of a kind. The University of Maryland thanks you.
Classic Lefty!

Gawd he was such a great coach and personality. He was never so intense. I mean, he would go to the students at Cameron with their skull caps and chat them up. He took it all in stride. Great coach, great man. RIP Lefty.

But they later named the floor at Georgia State after him.
RIP Lefty

Good ol Norfolk guy. Granby High, and this is from a Maury guy.
They named the court at Granby after him.
Hall of fame
Rip lefty
The left hander.
Georgia State was his greatest accomplishment.
It proved "he could coach"
Would’ve retired as Maryland coach if not for the Len Bias tragedy.
HE CAN COACH!! HE CAN COUCH !!!!
He kin coach!
Did someone say Tim Couch? (The expansion version of the Cleveland Browns fans are throwing their rubber-duckies at me from their bathtubs!). Springfield, VA dude in Phoenix who STILL bleeds white red yellow and black! GO LEFTY!!)
School was very hard
TheGoat HCR Tak K very hard
Be2Beastly my daddy go hard
6:40 was very disturbing and cringy. Jeez Louise
bruh who is this no-name player in the hall of fame he doesn't even come up in basketball reference
Hes a coach
You are a complete idiot! Why do you think that Coach K and John Thompson took the time to show up with him? Please don't have any kids, the human race is dumb enough as is
