Bob Nash dedicated 31 years of his life to the Hawai'i men's basketball program, including two as a member of the famed "Fabulous Five" of the 1970s. He was named to numerous All-American teams and helped lead UH to its first NIT (1971) and NCAA Tournament (1972) appearances. Following his career, he was selected ninth overall in the 1972 NBA Draft, the highest UH draft pick in program history at the time. He held school records for rebounds in a game (30) and in a season (361) and averaged a double-double for his career (16.8 ppg and 13.6 rpg). Following his professional playing career, he spent 26 years as an assistant to coaches Larry Little, Frank Arnold, and Riley Wallace and three years as head coach (2007-10).
