12/20 trivia 2

As we all know (or should ) the Celtics have by far the most people (players/coaches/owner)s in the Hall of Fame.

Which College has the most people enshrined there?

The logical guesses would have to be UCLA, Duke, Kentucky, Kansas or UNC, but I have no clue without looking it up.

And your logic is correct.

Take a shot. The correct college has 9 enshrined.

Once again, logic says UCLA maybe UNC/Kentucky. I'll go with JW and the boys.

UCLA obviously has the most titles, but I'd go with Kansas, considering they have a longer history. I believe their first coach was somebody named Naismith, and I think other coaches of some renown were players there.

I should have known living in the state myself. Good one.

Well neither Kansas or UCLA is right. Nor is Kentucky

The tarhells have 9 former players/coaches in the HOF
