national championships in the 1960s, and Tex Winter, a former USC

to the Pacific-10 Conference basketball hall of honor.
Abdul-Jabbar later played 20 years in the NBA, where he is the
only six-time MVP.

assistant and his 56th consecutive season as either a college or
pro coach.
The other honorees to be inducted during the men's Pac-10
