FIBA Hall of Fame
The FIBA Hall of Fame honors basketball players, coaches, and administrators, who have contributed to international competitive basketball. It was established by FIBA in 1991. It includes the "Samaranch Library", the biggest basketball library in the world, that as of 2007, had over 10,000 basketball books, and 950 magazines, from over 65 countries. The FIBA Hall of Fame building is a basketball museum built in Alcobendas, Community of Madrid, Spain, by the Pedro Ferrándiz Foundation. Initially, induction ceremonies occurred every two years, with the first taking place in 2007. The pattern was interrupted in 2010, when a class was inducted on the day of the 2010 FIBA World Championship's Final in Istanbul. After that, no induction took place until 2013, with a class announced in May of that year, with induction taking place on 19 June.

NB:
- Newell was born in Canada, but is classified as American because he became a U.S. citizen as a young adult and made his coaching mark in the U.S.
- In addition, Newell is a member of the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame as a contributor, not as a coach.
