When the Atlantic 10 honors its inaugural class of Men’s Basketball Legends, GW will be represented by one of the greatest figures in basketball history – Arnold “Red” Auerbach.
The men’s basketball legends will be honored March 16 at the Barclays Center, prior to the A-10 tournament semifinals. Each of the 16 members of the 2013 class were chosen by a member institution for their impact on that university’s men’s basketball program.
“The considerable contributions each of these gentlemen made to their institution and its basketball program played an important role in shaping the foundation of men’s basketball in the Atlantic 10,” A-10 Commissioner Bernadette V. McGlade said in a release. “Whether it was building a program that eventually became a founding member or furthering the conference as it grew into a basketball power, each of the honorees is a part of the fabric of A-10 history and we’re thrilled to be able to honor them.”
