Women’s Hall Planned

A hall of fame exclusively for women’s basketball has a site, an architectural plan and mementos pouring in, sponsors said Wednesday.

Sketches of a 30,000-square-foot, glass-and-concrete building with rounded ends and a monument of a large basketball were unveiled. Sponsors say $3.5 million of the $7 million to $8 million needed has been raised.

Ground breaking is set for November, and the grand opening is planned during the Final Four in March 1999.

Tennessee Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt, whose five NCAA titles are second in the annals of collegiate basketball to John Wooden’s 10 at UCLA, is pushing the project.
