Hoops hall to have tribute to Huntington’s Straight

Originally published Feb. 24, 2014.

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.
