After planning awards banquets for the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame for 25 years, Bob Straight, of Huntington, doesn't mind attending this year's ceremony as a spectator.

"It's a relief," he says with a laugh.

Straight, however - the longtime coach of the Huntington High School boys' varsity basketball team whose 1963-64 squad played for the state title, and a 1979 hall of fame inductee - will still be a part of the banquet in a big way.
