The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame honors players who have shown exceptional skill at basketball, all-time great coaches, referees, and other major contributors to the sport. Located in Springfield, Massachusetts, the Basketball Hall of Fame is named after Dr. James Naismith, who invented the sport in 1891; he was inducted into the Hall as a contributor in 1959.[1] The Coach category has existed since the beginning of the Hall of Fame. For a person to be inducted to the Basketball Hall of Fame as a coach, they must either be "fully retired for five years" or, if they are still active, "have coached as either a fulltime assistant or head coach on the high school and/or college and/or professional level" for 25 years.[2]

As part of the inaugural class of 1959, three coaches were inducted (Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, Henry Clifford Carlson and Walter E. Meanwell); in total, 88 coaches have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Don Haskins, inducted in 1997, was the coach of the 1966 Texas Western basketball team, which was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2007. Dutch Lonborg, inducted in 1973, was manager of the 1960 U.S. Olympic team that was inducted in 2010. Three coaching inductees were members of the staff for the 1992 U.S. Olympic "Dream Team" that was also inducted in 2010—head coach Chuck Daly (1994) and assistants Lenny Wilkens (1998) and Mike Krzyzewski (2001). Nine of the inducted coaches were born outside the United States: Cesare Rubini, Aleksandr J. Gomelsky, Antonio Díaz-Miguel, Aleksandar "Aza" Nikolić, Geno Auriemma, Alessandro "Sandro" Gamba, Mirko Novosel, Pedro Ferrándiz, and Lidia Alexeeva. Nine of the inducted coaches are women: L. Margaret Wade, Jody Conradt, Pat Head Summitt, Sandra Kay Yow, Sue Gunter, Cathy Rush, C. Vivian Stringer, Tara VanDerveer, and Alexeeva. Three coaches have also been inducted as players: John Wooden, Bill Sharman, and Wilkens. The most recent inductees in this category, who entered the Hall on September 7, 2012, are Alexeeva, who coached the Soviet Union women's national team to two Olympic gold medals,[3] and Don Nelson, who at his induction was the winningest coach in NBA history and one of only two three-time winners of the NBA Coach of the Year Award.[4]
