HISTORY: In September of 2002, on the occasion of the new building’s spectacular grand opening celebration, the Hall welcomed Coaches Larry Brown, Lute Olson, and Kay Yow and, players Drazen Petrovic and Magic Johnson as the first Inductees to take their rightful place in the new Honors Ring. The Honors Ring overlooks Center Court, an iconic, breathtaking, full-size regulation basketball court where the game never ends. On any given day, visitors lace ’em up to play under the basketball heavens, reliving the glory days of yesteryear or practicing for the big games yet to come.
