Scorekeeping became more sophisticated in the 1940's. In gyms all
across the state, stylish electric scoreboards were signs of the
times. |

Because coaches were restricted from talking to their players
(except during half-time), portable rest stations known as "towel
boxes" were rolled out to players who huddled among themselves at
the free throw line during timeouts. |

HALL OF FAME
INDUCTEES
Players become eligible for Hall of Fame induction 25 years after their
high school graduation. Coaches are eligible after accumulating 25 years
of varsity experience or after retirement. While anyone can nominate an
individual to the Hall of Fame a state-wide board of directors (composed
of coaches, journalists, administrators, and businessmen) oversees the
Hall of Fame selection process, each year appointing a selection
committee representing all parts of the state.
In addition to honoring inductees, each year the Hall presents a Silver
Medal to an individual deserving special recognition for his/her
contributions to Indiana high school basketball. A Silver Anniversary
Team of outstanding senior basketball players from 25 years ago is
selected.
