The Don of CCHS basketball; Faces in the Crowd and Sunday Profile nominees

Former Catholic Central High School boys basketball coach Don Bassett coached the Crusaders from 1968 to 1984. (File photo by J.S. Carras - The Record).

The Record's sports editor, Kevin Moran, wrote a comprehensive story on the legendary career of former Catholic Central basketball coach Don Bassett that appeared in Sunday's edition of The Record.

Bassett won 304 games in 22 seasons as a high school basketball coach — he won more than 250 at CCHS, where he won 80 percent of his games.

Sunday, Bassett will be inducted into the Capital District Basketball Hall of Fame. The ceremony will be held at the Crown Plaza in Albany. The induction is open to the public. Tickets are priced at $70. Two of Bassett’s former players, Tom Bacher and Rod Owens, will also be part of the Hall of Fame Class of 2010.

We'll have more on this year's Hall of Fame class all this week in The Record.

During his run, Bassett turned CCHS into a nationally-recognized team that produced boatloads of college talent.

We're also featuring two new pieces of our retooled Sunday section.

First is Faces in the Crowd. Click here to see last week's nominees.
Do you know of a local team (at any level) or person that deserves to be recognized as one of our Faces in the Crowd? Please send us your information and a picture. (Follow the directions in the above link).

We're also looking for individuals to describe in our Sunday Profile. Here is one on John Hudson, the head groundskeeper at Joseph L. Bruno Stadium.

Please send us your nominees!
