Bill Fitch for Hall of Fame thread

SportsAutoFreak · 04-05-2015, 03:01 PM

Since there's one on Rasheed, I want to pay tribute to whom I most want to see get elected this year.

2x Coach of the Year
2x Conference Champion (1 in each)
1981 NBA Champion
NBA Ten Greatest Coaches
4th Coach to win 800 games

He's made a lot of contributions to the game and helped develop a young Larry Bird. He was also Phil Jackson's college coach.

I think he should've been in years ago. Hopefully his wait is over come tomorrow.

Agree with all of this.

If Calipari gets in and he doesn't I'll be pretty disappointed.

I think that record is what hurts Fitch, but he wouldn't be the first coach/manager under .500 to make it.

Yea with that resume, he has to be HOF.

SportsAutoFreak · 04-05-2015, 11:06 PM

Sadly he somehow isn't. Maybe tomorrow.

I thought you were joking, but Google confirms Calipari in the Hall. Is this like a delayed April fool? Kentucky is his only stop without scandal, and i'm not sure if he's gone clean or just learned how to hide things better.

Calipari got in. Hopefully today is the day Fitch is elected, also.

SportsAutoFreak · 04-06-2015, 12:18 PM

He didn't make it. What a shame.

This has gotten ridiculous. Bill Fitch should have been voted in years ago. Terrible.

Should we riot like that team that will lose to Duke tonight by a buzzer beater?

JoJo White got in and that was well deserved.
