Nominations
The names that belong in this Hall come from the community. If you know a player, coach, or referee from the Twin Cities whose contribution to the game deserves to be in the public record, this is where it starts.
How It Works
Anyone can submit a nomination. Our selection committee reviews every submission against the criteria below and chooses each year's class.
01 — Submit
Fill out the nomination form with as much detail as you can: schools, accomplishments, awards, and why this person belongs in the Hall. The more context, the better.
02 — Review
Our selection committee, AABHOF members, basketball historians, media, and community voices, reviews each nominee against the eligibility criteria.
03 — Induct
Selected inductees are announced and celebrated at the annual Hall of Famers event, joining the permanent record of Twin Cities African American basketball excellence.
The Criteria

For the Archive
We're building a permanent archive of Twin Cities African American basketball history. If you have photographs, news clippings, video, or written recollections of a nominee or inductee, we'd love to add them to the record.
Every dollar helps us produce the annual Hall of Famers event, grow the Keith Davis Scholarship, and preserve the archive for the next generation.
