Interviewed by: Frank Giardina

 
Earlier this month the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts inducted its latest class. On this edition of Sports Spectrum Today we talk with C. J. Woollum about the latest class. C. J. is the Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Christopher Newport University and one of our basketball analysts.

C. J. talks about the career and legacy of former Heat, Knicks and Lakers coach Pat Riley. He also talks about former players Hakeem Olajuwon, Adrian Dantley and Patrick Ewing. 

Broadcaster Dick Vitale and women's coaching pioneer Kathy Rush come up in the conversation as well. 

Does Ewing get unfairly blamed for never winning an NBA title? Is Hakeem one of the top five centers of all time? Is Dantley deserving of being in the Hall?

These are some of the questions we discuss with long time college coach, C. J. Woollum on Sports Spectrum Today.
