He's very, very deserving.

It would be a shame if he isn't voted in.

Cam Henderson, long time HC at Marshall is also on the list. He's credited with inventing the fast break, won a NAIA* national championship and had a 362–159 at Marshall and also was the Thundering Herd's football head coach.

*The national championship that Henderson won was in the fore-runner of the NAIA, I just can't remember what the association wasnamed at that time.

No fan of U of H, but Guy Lewis is very deserving of this HOF honor. Long overdue.

RE: Guy Lewis is a 2013 Hall of Fame Candidate
Well, I am a fan of Guy Lewis and as a youth I watched Elvin Hayes, Theodus Lee, Kenny Spain, Don Chaney and George Reynolds(?) when they were a freshmen team playing at the Delmar Field House.

I would watch them 3 years later play Lew Alcindor (still his name then) and UCLA in the Astrodome versus UH and before over 52,000 fans. They looked like ants from where we sat but I had some binoculars, of course.

Dick Enberg says that one game was a real broadcast and pioneering experience for him and America; that is, the first nationally televised college basketball game into record numbers o; homes (some saw it on the old UHF channels with special antennas) that became the fore-runner of what we now call March Madness with all its TV success. After the UH/UCLA game, TV advertisers knew they could sell NCAA basketball nationally.

OK, CUSA'ers, that is a prime example of your eastern media at play here by their literally having kept Guy Lewis out of the Hall of Fame this long. Had he played a Damn-Yankee U, he would have been elected into that Hall 1 year after he retired. Just sayin'...

GMG!

PS: I was almost an adult before I was told that damn-yankee was actually 2 words.

GMG!

PS II: Such a sad, sad time for those of us who grew up in the Houston area and have such terrific memories of the Astrodome. http://www.denverpost.com/rockies/ci_17708291

RE: Guy Lewis is a 2013 Hall of Fame Candidate
Maybe it was the Eastern media but there are schools of thought that Wooden kept him out as well as his coaching performance in Albuquerque against Valvano. Or D., All of the above, is also an acceptable answer.
