On the day he enters the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame in Kansas City, Mo., Illinois legend Lou Henson shares his thoughts.
***
It is such a great honor to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. There are a lot of people who deserve it more than I do. I'm just happy to be one of them. It's quite a prestigious award.
It's a combination of everybody we've been in contact with. It took all of them for this to happen.
I want to mention all my great assistant coaches: Mark Coomes, Dick Nagy, Jimmy Collins, Tony Yates, Les Wothke and Bob Hull.
