It was announced Thursday that the Suns’ coach for 14 years will be inducted into the Arizona Sports Hall of Fame.
MacLeod is already in the Indiana Sports Hall of Fame, both for his dominance as an athlete, and his success as a coach.
While Suns’ fans will remember MacLeod for his successful tenure on the Phoenix Suns’ sideline, he was a stand out athlete in basketball, baseball, and track at Bellarmine University in Kentucky during the late 50’s and early 60’s.
John MacLeod was hired by the Phoenix Suns in 1973-74, and took the team to their first NBA Finals in his third season.
