ATHENS, Ga. -- Former Georgia basketball coach Hugh Durham and Dominique Wilkins, his prized pupil, were among eight inductees into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame in Kansas City on Friday night.
Appropriately, Durham and Wilkins, who together led the Bulldogs to numerous significant firsts, together were Georgia’s first inductees into the Collegiate Hall of Fame.
“You look around and it has only happened once, I think, Coach (Dale) Brown and Shaquille at LSU,” Durham said. “Dominique and I have remained close through the years. Today, he probably would have only played one year at UGA, but he played three years back then.
