Mostly, anyway. Really, I love the existence of and idea of the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame.
The execution of the Hall, though, is sadly dated and a bit stale.
Yes, I loved watching the introductory slide show the first time I saw it, but that was twenty-some years ago when the Hall opened.
And many of the exhibits were interesting...the first time.
I've, in fact, thought about donating a couple days of my summer time to help the Hall do some of the grunt work around the place, relabeling, correcting, dusting, whatever-they-needing.
I am more than excited (ecstatic, joyous, bubbly, thrilled), however, that the Hall is filming a replacement introductory video.
They've been filming some pretty impressive, Indiana basketball greats (both men and women) in some pretty outstanding locations...
- Damon Bailey in Bedford's gym (wish they'd visited Seymour High School)
- Larry Bird in...maybe his restaurant in Terre Haute
- Oscar Robertson in...maybe his house
- Steve Alford in the New Castle Fieldhouse, largest high school gym in the world and one of my favorite sports venues
- George McGinnis in Indianapolis Washington High School
- Bobby Plump in Hinkle Fieldhouse
- Stephanie White in Banker's Life Fieldhouse
- Katie Douglas (ok, I don't know her) in Southport High School's gym
- Judi Warren (1st Miss Basketball) in Hinkle Fieldhouse
