Inductees select their presenters from a group of previously-inducted Hall of Famers.Stockton still resides in Spokane more than 40 years after playing at Gonzaga, where he was was a WCAC Player of the Year in 1984 and two-time First Team All-WCAC selection. The NBA’s record holder for career assists (15,806) and steals (3,265) made 10 All-Star appearances and has his number retired both by Gonzaga and the Jazz. Stockton was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2009.Few has grown close with Hill through their shared time working with USA Basketball. The 28th-year Gonzaga coach served as an assistant to Steve Kerr on the men’s national team at the 2023 FIBA World Cup and 2024 Summer Olympics, where the U.S. won a gold medal. Hill visited Gonzaga in February of 2025 to present Few with a ring commemorating the Olympic team’s success in Paris.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementCalipari and Few have a friendship that’s spanned three decades. Few’s teams at Gonzaga played Calipari’s four times from 2006-09. The Zags planned a six-year scheduling agreement with Kentucky during Calipari’s time in Lexington, K.Y., but the coaches only matched up twice before Calipari was hired at Arkansas. Few and Calipari will meet in Springfield roughly two months before their Gonzaga and Arkansas teams are expected to meet in a preseason exhibition at Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville, Ark.Other notable presenters at next month’s enshrinement ceremony include NBA legends Allen Iverson, Dwayne Wade, Tracy McGrady, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Steve Nash, along with former WNBA standouts Tamika Catchings, Tina Thompson and Lisa Leslie.
