To be a member of the Louisiana Sports Writers Hall of Fame is one of the greatest honors that could be bestowed on an athlete from this state or who has performed a portion of his career in this state. Each year’s class continues to add to the prestige of the growing list of Hall of Fame inductees. The Hall of Fame ceremonies are conducted each June in Natchitoches and plans are underway for a Hall of Fame building to be constructed just off the historic district of downtown Natchitoches. A total of 13 men and women who participated in the LSU basketball program either as players or coaches have been inducted in the Hall of Fame. In 2005, LSU’s Durand “Rudy” Macklin, a member of the 1981 Final Four team and the No. 1 rebounder and No. 2 scorer in LSU men’s history, along with late former LSU women’s head coach Sue Gunter were inducted. This past year the late Dr. Martin J. Broussard became the first athletic trainer ever inducted iinto the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame.
