Legendary Ferrin Elected to College Hoops Hall of Fame
Just a few weeks after being named to Utah's All-Century Team, the legendary Arnie Ferrin has been elected to the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame.
Ferrin will be enshrined on Nov. 23 at the College Basketball Experience and Sprint Center in Kansas City.
He's the only four-time All-American in school history, and led the Utes to the 1944 NCAA Tournament championship -- he was the most outstanding player -- as well as the 1947 National Invitation Tournament championship. He later played in the NBA, winning two titles, worked as the general manager of the Utah Stars in the American Basketball Association, and served as athletic director for the Utes.
Coaches Nolan Richardson and Jim Phelan will join Ferrin in the induction class, as well as former Kansas star Danny Manning and broadcasters Billy Packer and Dick Vitale.
