The Bronx Basketball Hall of Fame, which it seems is a very recent endeavor nominates about 40 people for induction each year and it looks like they choose around 15. Joe Mazzella is on the list this year. Only Iona name I recognize on the list. Rooting for him to get in as he is my next seat neighbor at Hynes!  |

*Joe Mazzella was a two sport star at both MSM and Iona.
*Jack Powers was a better player than coach, imo.
*Are Johnny Bach and Ken Norton already in?
*What about Richie Guerin and Ed Conlan?
Was NYU located in Manhattan or the Bronx?

As far as NYU was concerned, I meant in the days of Dolph Schayes (Sp?), Barry Kraemer and Happy Hairston and Cal Ramsey?

Was NYU located in Manhattan or the Bronx? Richie is in. The other 3 are not yet in. In their defense it looks like they have only been in existence since 2022. Might take some time to get all deserving in as there is a wealth of basketball talent from the Bronx. |

NYU was housed in Manhattan and in the Bronx until 1973--where Bronx Community College now stands. The spectacular campus overlooks the Harlem River. It also houses the Hall of Fame for Great Americans which includes a ring of 100+busts representing many historical figures. www.bcc.cuny.edu/about-bcc/history-architecture/hall-of-fame-for-great-americans/ |
