Would that make him the first person in the HoF who was born in Adelaide?
If there was one Aussie who deserves that honour its definitely Lindsay Gaze.
First Aussie ever in Naismith HOF I believe.
First non-US or non-Euro coach in the HOF.

Lindsay Gaze's list of accomplishments is just outstanding. A few are mentioned in this article on the NBL website: http://www.nbl.com.au/article/id/1netope3ftt921d5xe6y6bxh2p
A great pity that there is not (at least as far as I can see at the moment) an article celebrating this great achievement on the Melbourne United website.

The Naison Hall of Fame? You would think the NBL would know what it is called and why.

Certainly had an accomplished career.
Although calling him a 7 times Olympian I don't feel is strictly accurate.
(Australia didn't actually qualify for the Olympics proper in 68. So whilst he certainly represented his country, they were not Olympians.)

Dazz, more importantly, and not diminishing the accomplishment, but does being a coach count as being an Olympian? I have never heard of the swimming coaches or tennis coaches or gymnastics coaches etc. qualifying as Olympians.
