Social media was the most popular forum people used to congratulate Eddie Sutton on his induction into the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame on Saturday, but plenty of other legendary coaches went the old school route by showing their faces in video form. From Gene Keady to Rick Barnes, Bill Self to Lon Kruger, coaches across the country came together to create a montage of praise for the coach whose impact on the sport was immense.
And almost all of them had beards! Social distancing approved.
“An honor very much deserved and earned,” said OU’s Lon Kruger.
