Former Maryland coach Lefty Driesell was one of the 13 new members introduced Saturday to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame for the Class of 2018.
Driesell, who coached the Terps from 1969 through 1986 before finishing his career at Georgia State in 2003, will join another former Maryland coach, Gary Williams, when he is inducted in September.
The 86-year-old Driesell, one of the oldest living former coaches and players ever to be selected, made it on his fourth try after receiving at least 18 of 24 votes from the Honors Committee. He will be among those introduced at the Final Four in San Antonio, Texas.
