Kentucky Wildcats basketball face mask

He will be posthumously inducted in August, as will Los Angeles Lakers great Kobe Bryant.

Sutton coached basketball for 50 years, at six different colleges and one high school, but he is best known for a successful run at his alma mater, Oklahoma State, and a controversial tenure at Kentucky.

He reached the Final Four three times, and during his 37 seasons coaching at the Division I level, Sutton finished a season below .500 only twice: his final season at Kentucky and during a half-season at San Francisco. He still ranks in the top 25 all time in wins with 806.
