Former LA Clippers head coach and NBA Champion Bill Fitch will be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, according to Mark Berman.
Fitch coached the LA Clippers from 1994 to 1998, guiding the team to a postseason appearance in 1997. It was the franchise’s third since moving to San Diego and taking the Clippers name.
Fitch’s other years in Los Angeles weren’t as successful, but this also wasn’t during the golden age of LA Clippers basketball. At the time, the team’s 36-win season in 1997 was the franchise’s third-highest total since moving to Los Angeles, and remained the highest until the Clippers won 39 games in 2002.
