Monday marked the two coaching legends first time together. But you wouldn't know it by their constant interaction.
Paterno sat on stage between Davis and Kryzyewski. During every commercial break, the two-time national champion looked to his left at Kryzyewski. The two would chat and joke until the next segment started.
Paterno even kept poking fun at the coach with four national championships, 11 Final Four appearances and 27 NCAA tournament berth during their hour together on stage.
In one segment, Kryzyewski revealed that he told his three daughters "to find someone who's good looking and you can trust" in a mate.
Paterno later responded: "I wonder what his wife's father told her."
But in true JoePa fashion, the 84-year-old even made fun of himself.
During a question-and-answer piece, a female audience member asked Paterno what it was like to be one of Penn State's biggest icons.
"As far as being an icon, tell me what is an icon," he said. "If you mean someone good looking, handsome, I like it."
Paterno even had fun at the expense of his wife, Sue.
"I got a great wife, a little bossy," he said. "But she's a German."
In addition to laughing at Paterno's joke, the invitation-only crowd of about 1,000 listened to the coaches explore topics such as teaching, family, leadership and excellence. They even touched on NCAA guidelines in regards to practice, rule violations and the number of scholarships.
Paterno would like the see the NCAA increase the number FBS scholarships from 85 to 90. He also wants to freshmen to go back to being ineligible for varsity. Both coaches want more practice time and among other things.
