Sħãlïq™ Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 (SB Nation, Tom Ziller) Don Nelson, the pioneering head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, Dallas Mavericks and Golden State Warriors, told a reporter on Wednesday that he has been informed that he'll be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as a part of the 2012 class. The formal announcement is expected to come Monday, but Nellie apparently doesn't understand the concept of a news embargo. Nelson has more wins than NBA coach in history (1,335) and sits at No. 3 in losses (1,063). While Nelson has a career winning percentage of .557, among the seven coaches with at least 1,000 wins, that's the second lowest winning percentage (ahead of Lenny Wilkens' .536).Source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decades between were celebrated as well, from Wilkes to Sampson to Miller as Nelson touched all over the timeline, while the basketball museum stuck to the recent mandate of addressing the previously overlooked.http://www.nba.com/2012/news/features/scott_howard_cooper/04/02/hall-of-fame-2012/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
