Again no men's basketball players. Since 2007 there have been 3 men's basketball players included.

Marcus Denmon in 2018

Dan Pippin in 2013

George Williams in 2011 (longtime readers of the board may recall I mounted a multiyear effort to get him included that finally succeeded in 2011)

There are currently 34 former men's players inducted (although technically 29 because Ron Cox, Don Faurot, Woody Hatfield, Dave Otto, and Bob Schoonmaker were not included for anything done in men's basketball).

Current inclusions:
Abram, Al
Anderson, Kim
Booker, Melvin
Brown, John
Bunker, Herb
Chievous, Derrick
Coleman, Ron
Cooper, Clay
Cooper, John
Cox, Ron
Craig, Marshall
Denmon, Marcus
Drew, Larry
Eberhard, Al
Faurot, Don
Frazier, Ricky
Hatfield, Woody
Henke, Charles

Peeler, Anthony
Pippin, Dan
Ruby, Craig
Schoonmaker, Bob
Siebert, Sonny
Smith, Willie
Smith, Doug
Stauffer, Bill
Stewart, Norm
Stipanovich, Steve

If I were putting together a list current omissions for future consideration (in order):

2. Kareem Rush
3. Byron Irvin
4. Clarence Gilbert
5. Albert White
6. Demarre Carroll
7. Paul O'liney
