Movin’ Mavs head coach, Doug Garner, was named as a 2019 National Wheelchair Basketball Association Hall of Fame inductee on Wednesday.
The NWBA Hall of Fame Committee announced the 2019 class in a Facebook post.
Garner said he doesn’t think about the spotlight or individual awards, but it feels good to be recognized.
Being involved with wheelchair basketball since the 1990s, Garner has helped the sport grow in multiple ways. He has helped grow the NWBA’s junior division while increasing female participation in the sport.
Garner took over as Movin’ Mavs head coach after former head coach Jim Hayes died in May 2008.
