Congratulations to Dave Gavitt, Hall of Famer

In case you missed it, Dave Gavitt was selected to the the 2006 class of the Basketball Hall of Fame yesterday. Gavitt was a highly successful coach at Providence College before leaving coaching at the age of 43. Soon after, Gavitt founded the nation's premier college basketball conference, the BIG EAST.

Bob Ryan of the Boston Globe delivered a fine column about Gavitt.

    Gavitt was a great coach. As a kid growing up in SE Mass in the late 60's and early 70's, his teams with Ernie DiGregorio, Marvin Barnes & Kevin Stacom were just so much fun to watch...it's what turned me on to college hoops, a lifelong love.
