Derrick Coleman Named 2016 ACC Legend

The ACC announced the 2016 Basketball Legends Class today and Derrick Coleman has been selected as this year's Syracuse Orange honoree. You're thinking to yourself, "Wait, wasn't he Syracuse's selection last year?". You are correct, but due to the post-season ban taken by Syracuse, it was decided that DC would postpone the honor. It also means that Coleman is the 1st person in ACC history to be selected for the Legends honor in back-to-back seasons. (Can't argue with facts folks)

From the ACC release, here's a look at some of DC's Syracuse accomplishments:

Derrick Coleman, Syracuse (1986-90) – One of the most prolific rebounders in college basketball history, Coleman accumulated 2,143 points and pulled down 1,537 rebounds in his four seasons with the Orange.
