IHSAA BASKETBALL HALL-OF-FAME PLAYERS, 1969– 2013 (Listed by high school; graduation year follows name) Updated: October 10, 2013 Note: Hall of Fame Players and Coaches are selected by a committee that makes recommendations to the Board of Control. This committee makes their selections from nominations submitted to the IHSAA by a member school. Candidates who are chosen normally want to be present for the induction ceremonies. As a result there are “selected and approved” honorees who currently have professional conflicts and who will be honored when they can attend.
