Last week the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced their candidates for the Class of 2024. It is understandable if anyone missed the announcement. The headline candidates included Vince Carter and the 2008 Team USA “Redeem Team.” Former head coach K.C. Jones was not among those included.
To Jerry Colangelo and the Hall of Fame committee, it is way beyond time to explain yourselves regarding this glaring omission.
To be clear: K.C. Jones 100% deserves to not simply be a candidate for the Hall of Fame as a coach, he deserved to be enshrined long ago.
