UH basketball great Bob Nash selected to Circle of Honor

Bob Nash, one of the most storied figures in the history of
the University of Hawai’i basketball program, is one of four new inductees
selected to the prestigious UH Circle of Honor The 37th class of the
Circle of Honor was announced on Monday.
Joining Nash in this year’s class are longtime booster Carolyn Berry Wilson,
former NCAA champion diver Emma Friesen, and former UH athletic director Hugh
Yoshida.
Nash is considered one of the greatest players in UH basketball history, and he
was previously selected to the Circle of Honor as part of the 1971-72 “Fabulous
Five” basketball teams. That team was part of the inaugural class in 1982.
Nash averaged 16.8 points and 13.8 rebounds per game during his two seasons
with the Rainbow Warriors. He still
holds many of the UH records for rebounding, including most rebounds in a game
(30) and most in one season (361, 14.4 average per game).
After his senior season, Nash was a first round pick (seventh overall) in the
1972 NBA Draft.
He later returned to UH and spent 29 years on the staff. He was an assistant
coach under three head coaches at UH (Larry Little, Frank Arnold, Riley
Wallace), and then was the head coach of the Warriors from 2007-2010. He went
on to coach professional basketball in Japan after that.
Interesting that Nash was drafted ahead of Erving in the 1972 NBA Draft.
