Friday night, the United States Military Academy at West Point inducted its 2012 class into the Army Sports Hall of Fame. Among those inductees was Bill Schutsky, a 1968 graduate from the academy, Army basketball captain, and our great family friend.
Not only was Bill a fantastic basketball player, he was a distinguished Army officer, and a great coach. And he is an amazing husband, father, grandfather, and friend. There is no person I know more deserving of this honor, and West Point is lucky to have such a wonderful person as a part of its community.
So, congratulations to Bill and his family! This is a great day. I feel so honored to have been able to make the above video to honor Bill’s sports career and I can hope that it does him justice. To Bill!
Privileged to have played with Bill — even if it was just intramural. He had the unique ability to draw fouls, score, and then hit the free throws. He also had a lot of patience! Mark Bender traintough1@aol.com
I think he was the best all around player Army ever had. Could do it all, shoot, pass, rebound and defend.
