The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced today that Tara is one of the ten members of the Class of 2011 who will be enshrined during a week of events culminating on Friday, August 12 in Springfield, Massachusetts.
This announcement from Stanford Athletics details the many accomplishments that earned Tara this honor.
Tara said the Naismith enshrinement is "the ultimate compliment to a coach or a basketball player, and I'm humbled and honored. I should be really excited and I am, but I wish it hadn't come on this day."
