Message: [QUOTE="SVCBeercats, post: 3738727, member: 7874"] [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]Since its opening in 1999, 10 individuals with ties to Wayland Baptist basketball, and the 1953-58 Flying Queens teams, have been inducted into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in Knoxville, Tenn. In 2018, Harley Redin was a co-recipient of the John Bunn Award from the Naismith Memorial Basketball of Fame. Redin was inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 1999. Dean Weese was inducted in 2002. I have to mention Joe Lombard, a former Pioneer player, but not a Wayland women's basketball coach. His record is on the high school level but WHAT A RECORD! With close to 1,300 victories, a winning percentage of almost 92 percent, and 19 state championships (in addition to seven cross country state titles), Lombard is one of the winningest high school basketball coaches in the country. He's been named National High School Coach of the Year three times and has been inducted into no fewer than six halls of fame, including the National Women's Basketball Hall of Fame.

Just play your best players. Participation throphy holders need not apply. '[/COLOR]Lombard’s system early on was to platoon his players, but after losing that first game it didn’t take him long to change his way. “I’ve never done (platooned) that again,” Lombard said. “From that point on, I got the idea that you play your best kids.”' Cool fact: when Lombard won his first Class A state championship; his wife Babs' won her first Class 2A state championship.
