HUNTINGTON — Marshall University men’s basketball coach Danny D’Antoni, whose Thundering Herd will play for first place in Conference USA on Thursday night at UAB in Birmingham, Ala., has earned an unexpected honor from his time as the Head Coach of Socastee High School in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
D’Antoni, who won 524 games from 1975-2005 as well as creating one of the country’s best high school basketball tournaments — The Beach Ball Classic — is being honored by the South Carolina Basketball Coaches Association (SCBCA) and will be inducted next month into that group’s Hall of Fame.
