Gang, I know that we don't rank the NCAA Basketball Hall of Fame, but I did think it was worth mentioning that the ten man class of 2012 has been announced. This includes:
Joe B. Hall who succeeded Adolph Rupp at Kentucky and led the Wildcats to a championship in 1978.
Patrick Ewing who was a megastar for the Georgetown Hoyas, and later became a Basketball Hall of Famer with the New York Knicks.
Earl Monroe who was a forty point per game scorer at Winston Salem State.
Willis Reed who led Grambling to three NAIA Championships.
Claude Lovellette who was a star at powerhouse Kansas, and was the Nation's leading scorer in 1952.
Dave Robbins who won over 700 games at Virginia Union.
Phil Ford who is the second all time leading scorer at North carolina (which says something!)
Kenny Sailors who was a star at Wyoming and historically speaking is credited with creating the jump shot.
Jim Host and Joe Dean who are entering as contributors representing Kentucky and LSU respectively.
We congratulate these fine men for their induction to the NCAA Basketball Hall of Fame!
Very Random thought....Those sports fans not in a hole are very aware of the New Orleans Saints "Bountygate" and the constant debates on what the impending fallout may be. What we haven't heard (unless we missed it somewhere) is what ripple this may cause the Football Hall of Fame. Unless, we are mistaken, we can think of only one potentail casulty: Sean Payton.
With a Super Bowl ring and an age under fifty, Payton's coaching future was as bright as his brief head coaching past. However, potential fallout of Bountygate could result in him being suspended, or possibly fired. With the NFL constantly cracking down on violent hits in the league, is it not possible that Payton and (for sure, Gregg Williams) suffer a severe consequence for this? With a future not so bright, we wonder if this has derailed Canton chances. Thoughts?
Does 240 Wins make a Hall of Fame Career?
Probably not, but there should be little doubt that Pettitte carved himself a nice career and is retiring with some fairly nice statistics. His 240 wins is paired with only 138 losses leaving him a .638 win percentage, which is 9th overall in Major League History. Pettitte also retires as the games's all time win leader in the Post Season, of which he netted five World Series Rings. The three time All Star, also whiffed 2,251 career batters.
With that said, detractors have reasons to sneer. Playing for powerful Yankees teams aided his win total, and though the way he handled sterois allegations should be printed in a textbook, he was still linked to it; and we have seen how the Hall treats the PED players. We here at Notinhalloffame.com figure that Pettitte won't get in, but does deserve an eventual top 100 rank. Oh....that reminds us.....check back in a few weeks when we unveil the 2011 Baseball list. Major changes are ahead.
What do you think of Andy Pettitte's HOF chances?
