Coach Lou Henson is the Godfather of NMSU basketball. He was a legend in the College basketball ranks and will be dearly missed.

RIP - I was at Illinois when he was coaching there.
Did a great job righting the ship after McCarthy, as well in his post-retirement gig.

Sorry to hear. Condolences to the Henson family and the Aggie community.

Lou Henson was the greatest Aggie coach to ever pace the PAC courtside. He was a special coach, a legend, and a gentlemen. His passing leaves a hole in the Las Cruces community. He was loved by all. RIP Lou.

One of his many achievements us Texans can understand and appreciate: Lou Henson was inducted into Hardin-Simmons' Athletics HOF in 1997. His successful turnaround of HSU's program (1962-1966) propelled him to NMSU in 1966 where he went on to reach the Final Four in 1970. RIP, Coach.

Good stuff. I knew he coached at Hardin-Simmons, I did not know he was inducted to their HOF. Thanks for sharing.

Henson took NMSU to the Final Four, college basketball Hall of Fame. The greatest coach NMSU basketball has ever had. However, I humbly disagree with you he is the god father of NMSU basketball. I would say Jerry Hines is the god father of NMSU basketball, for NMSU athletics for that matter.
