Mel Tucker hasn’t coached a game for Michigan State yet, as he just joined from Colorado this offseason after Spartans head coach Mark Dantonio stepped down to take a new role in the athletic department.
Yet Tucker is already connecting with the East Lansing community via a gift of food to local front line workers this week.
Tucker and his family picked up the tab for dinner for caregivers at Sparrow Hospital, and delivered the food with a video message to the front-line workers who are treating people with coronavirus and other diseases in the city.
Via the Lansing State Journal:
On Thursday, Tucker and his family bought dinner from Arcadia Smokehouse in Lansing for the night shift caregivers at Sparrow Hospital.
“I just wanted to send a little thank-you dinner out tonight to all the night-shift nurses and doctors at Sparrow, from Arcadia Smokehouse,” Tucker said in a video released by Sparrow. “I deeply appreciate all that you are doing to help our community. Thank you again so much, be safe and Go Green.”
Here’s the video:
Well done, Coach Tucker.
