By Sam Hellman on 03. Apr, 2009

In her 38th season as a head coach and 14th at Rutgers, C. Vivian Stringer will be enshrined in the Hall of Fame according to a report in the Newark Star Ledger.

According to the report, a person familiar with the induction process said that Stringer will be selected Monday at the Final Four, just one week after reaching her fifth straight Sweet 16 at Rutgers.

“The Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame is one of those breathless, high emotional entities that speak to the best in the game,” Stringer said after learning of her nomination last month. “To love something as much as I love the game of basketball and to even be considered for this amazing honor, it is truly humbling. I want to appreciate this moment.”

Stringer’s induction ceremony will take place in Springfield, Mass. Sept. 10-12 as she may join other basketball legends such as Michael Jordan and David Robinson.
