C.M. Newton, head men's basketball coach at the University of Alabama from 1969-80, has been named one of the six inductees in the Class of 2000 in the Basketball Hall of Fame. Newton was selected in his first time out as a nominee.

Newton, whose record at Alabama was 211-123, joins, among others, Isaiah Thomas and Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt as the Hall of Fame's Newest members.

Newton, who recently retired as director of Athletics at the University of Kentucky, played basketball for the Wildcats. When his 1972 Alabama team beat Adolph Rupp's Kentucky team 73-70 in Tuscaloosa, the win made Newton the only former player of the late Adolph Rupp to beat Rupp as a head coach.

Newton's 1973 Alabama team went 22-8 and advanced to the NIT Final Four. The next three seasons, Newton coached Alabama to three consecutive Southeastern Conference Championships in 1974, 1975 and 1976. Alabama went 67-14 during that three year span.
In 1975 Newton guided Alabama to its first ever NCAA tournament berth. Alabama made headlines in 1976 when it upset North Carolina in the NCAA tournament's second round. Alabama advanced to the NCAA "Sweet 16" that year, falling to eventual national champion, Indiana.

His former Alabama players included names like NBA stars Reginald "Mule" King, Leon Douglas and Eddie Phillips and head Charlotte Sting coach T.R. Dunn (also an NBA player and coach).

Newton left Alabama in 1980 and went to work in Birmingham as a commissioner in the Southeastern Conference office. He later returned to coaching at Vanderbilt before returning to his alma mater to be Kentucky's athletics director.

This past August Newton returned to courtside in Tuscaloosa's Coleman Coliseum to join his old assistant, former Tide head basketball coach Wimp Sanderson, as the two head coaches in the "Legends Game", a weekend-long event that was a reunion of Bama's former basketball players and sta
