SALT LAKE CITY - The Pac-12 Conference will honor Utah legend Billy McGill along with 11 other former student-athletes by inducting them into the Pac-12 Men's Basketball Hall of Honor.
The induction will occur on Friday, March 14, during a ceremony prior to the semifinal games at the 2014 Pac-12 Men's Basketball Tournament held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nev.
The other individuals to be inducted are: Luke Walton (Arizona), Verl Heap (Arizona State), David Butler (California), Ken Charlton (Colorado), Frederick Jones (Oregon), Lee Harman (Oregon State), Mark Madsen (Stanford), Tyus Edney (UCLA), Wayne Carlander (USC), Brandon Roy (Washington) and Ed Gayda (Washington State).
Rumored to be the originator of the "jump hook", the 6'9" McGill arrived at the University of Utah to play under head coach Jack Gardner after starring at Jefferson High School in Los Angeles, California.
McGill was a second-team All-American during the 1960-61 season and then earned first team honors during the 1961-62 season. That same year, he led the nation in scoring at 38.8 points per game, including a 60-point performance against arch-rival BYU.
McGill became the 11th player in collegiate history to record 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds during his career and was eventually drafted with the No. 1 overall pick in the 1962 NBA Draft by the Chicago Zephyrs.
He still ranks No. 2 all-time at Utah in Utah career scoring (2,321 points) and No. 1 in career rebounding (1,106). McGill also owns the Utah single-season (1,009) and single-game (60) records for scoring, as well as the single-season (430) and single-game (24) records for rebounding.
He is one of seven Utes to have his jersey retired and was honored in 2008 as a member of the University of Utah All-Century team.
McGill has also written a new book, Billy "The Hill" and the Jump Hook: The Autobiography of a Forgotten Basketball Legend
