Two Gonzaga Legends Inducted into Hooptown Hall of Fame Class of 2026

Continuing to add accolades to storybook careers, two former Gonzaga Bulldogs received prestigious honors for their impacts in the Spokane area this month.

Ex-GU head coach Dan Fitzgerald and former Zag player Jeff Brown were inducted into the Hooptown Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2026. The gallery honors those in the Inland Northwest who made an impact on Spokane’s basketball community, which they certainly did during their tenures with Gonzaga’s men’s basketball program in the late 20th century. This year’s class also features Kim Eng, Emily Westerburg, and the 2006-08 Ferris boys’ basketball team.

Holding its inaugural induction ceremony in 2022, the Hooptown Hall of Fame pairs Fitzgerald and Brown with an already sizable group of Zags, including Mark Few, John Stockton, the 1999 men’s squad, Adam Morrison, current women’s assistant coach Stacy Clinesmith, Tammy Tibbles, and Heather Bowman.
