  • When You Bring up the Name Coach John Mclendon You Are Speaking About Someone Who Learned the Game of Basketball from Its Founder, Dr
    CL ASSIC In 2016 the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament made history with the introduction of the Coach John McLendon Classic. Played in the first round of the CIT, the winner received a championship trophy and advanced to the second round of the CIT. The idea of playing for a trophy created some real excitement and it was the first time in NCAA Division I Basketball history that a “Classic” has been part of a postseason tournament. The game pays tribute to Coach McLendon and the legacy of some of the great pioneers of the game, including Clarence “Big House” Gaines and Ben Jobe. It’s a showcase for Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference and the Southwestern Athletic Conference and a celebration of Historically Black College Basketball. "When you bring up the name Coach John McLendon you are speaking about someone who learned the game of basketball from its founder, Dr. James Naismith. Coach McLendon was able to add a great deal to the game of basketball, including the up-tempo style of play, which was first credited to him. More importantly he was able to break down color barriers and continue to have a profound effect on those he reached. The John McLendon Classic will help to bring more attention to some of the pioneers of the game, like the great Coach McLendon." - Antonio Gates 5-Time All-Pro Selection, Los Angeles Chargers Member of the CIT Selection Committee The tremendous success of the inaugural Coach John McLendon Classic prompted an overwhelming response for additional “Classics” and the 2017 CIT included the Hugh Durham Classic, the Lou Henson Classic and the Riley Wallace Classic.
