Our Chairman, David Kiley’s statement on the passing of NWBA Hall of Famer Wyman Davis:
“Wyman Davis, a member of the NWBA Hall of Fame Class of 2006, was part of the dynasty known as the Detroit Sparks. I had many battles with this warrior on the court. He was fierce and a class act. He was an enforcer while also being a great human being. RIP, my brother!”
“This award didn’t happen alone, every one of my teammates contributed and I am grateful to each of them.”
Kathy Miller reflects on the growth of women’s wheelchair basketball from four teams in her first season to the 16-team national tournament held in this year’s National Championships, while recognizing the teammates and coaches who helped build the game along the way.
Jim Glatch shares a hilarious moment shared with his fellow Class of 2026 inductee, Buddy Barnes, from a game day in Charlottesville, turning a heated moment on the sideline into a friendship that lasted for years.
“I’m appreciative of everything he has meant to not just me and my teams, but to the sport.”
“It was the commitment to get us to a court…we were out there in the heat playing wheelchair basketball on asphalt, on concrete, whatever we could find, because we loved the game.”
Rain or shine, Eric Barber and his teammates found a way to play the game they loved. From courts across Chicago to the Hall of Fame, that passion and commitment never changed.
“What a proud moment when that medal is placed upon your neck.”
Kathy Miller reflects on not knowing what life had in store and how she found it through the game.
“I’ve always thought that was a big part of what I was supposed to be doing as a college coach, recruiting kids and developing them as players, and hopefully developing them as adults. I’m very proud of each and every one of them.”
Jim Glatch’s impact goes beyond basketball, shaping students into leaders and successful professionals.

We are deeply saddened to hear the loss of Gary Woodring, Hall of Fame, Class of 2013. 💔
Please read HOF committee member and Hall of Fame, Class of 2024, Cheryl Vines’ statement below:
“Gary was a great player jn the 80s and 90s winning 4 National Championships with the Rollin’ Razorbacks and numerous medals with Team USA, in fact every time he went international, he won gold! I’m comforted that he’s hanging out in heaven with his mentors Coach Vines and the great Ed Owen!”
Buddy Barnes on gaining a whole new perspective by getting in a chair.
He didn’t just use it as a ref. He shared it, helping others see and appreciate the game differently.
“He who thinks he leads and has no followers is only taking a walk.”
A trail of glitter… and a legacy to match. ✨✨
Congratulations to Kathy Miller on her induction into the NWBA Hall of Fame Class of 2026!
A call from the hall that started with a joke on writing “a book about coaching” turned into a Hall of Fame moment for Jim Glatch.
Congratulations Jim Glatch on your induction in the NWBA Hall of Fame Class of 2026!
We hope you write a book on coaching one day! 📚🤩
