There are four categories: 1) Players 2) Coaches 3) Leaders and 4) Officials whom we recognize individuals who made contributions toward AAAD/UASDB. Under the Contributors section, those individuals were recognized for their significant contributions to the game of basketball outside of AAAD/USADB. The first induction was in 1953 and first woman was inducted in 1992. (Updated 11/6/2023)
