The Illinois High School Basketball Hall of Fame is no surprise for Pinckneyville, which is known for its many successful basketball teams led by its legendary coaches, Duster Thomas and Dick Corn. Led by a local board of Pinckneyville leaders and basketball fans and supported by an Executive Board including the likes of Doug Collins, Mannie Jackson, Steve Bardo, Julie Roe, and Loren Tate, the plans include establishing a museum in Pinckneyville, which will showcase the history of prep basketball in Illinois and will exhibit memorabilia and films of the sport. The Hall of Fame will honor the finest of basketball players and coaches. The facility will be a perfect venue for sports banquets, meetings and social events.
