Great. Came here to catch up on NWC basketball and was surprised to read that former Linfield Coach Larry Doty is being kept out of the Linfield HOF by of all people Ad Rutschman. The person who posted that comment is wrong. To be considered for the HOF a former player must first be nominated. In most cases it is the family of the nominee but it could be teammates, friends or anyone else who wants to put in the time necessary to put together all the supporting documentation. The supporting documentation is passed out to twenty HOF committe members, coach Rutschman is one, who in turn select a group to be inducted. The process is anonymous, beyond personal influence and designed to be non-political. In recent years the number of nominees is far more than those inducted.
I played for coach Rutschman and was one of Doty's teammates. As a player he has HOF credentials. Last two times I checked Larry hadn't been nominated.
