Two former Tennessee women's basketball players were inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame at its annual enshrinement ceremony Aug. 14-15 in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Former Lady Vols Chamique Holdsclaw and Candance Parker were inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
Two other former Lady Vols were also enshrined as members of the 1996 U.S. Women's National Team, including Nikki McCray-Penson and Carla McGhee.
"The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame is proud to welcome the Class of 2026, a group that reflects the very best this sport has to offer." said John L.

"From a referee who set the standard over four decades, to coaches who built dynasties at every level, to players who redefined their positions, to a visionary who changed the way the game was played, and a women's class headlined by a national team that helped launch and entire league, alongside three of the most accomplished players the women's game has ever seen.
