Lefty Driesell waited a long time for this.
In a stellar 41-year college head coaching career, including 18 years at Maryland, Driesell amassed a 786-394 record. He’s 11th all-time in Division I wins and is the only coach to win 100 games at four different schools. Driesell is in the Maryland Athletics Hall of Fame. He’s in the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. But the honor of all basketball honors—a spot in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame—evaded him for decades.
Driesell, 86, finally got the long-awaited call in March. His induction is Friday night at 7 p.
