Lynette Woodard may have had a disappointing month after being passed over for the Kansas head coaching job.

But today should help to make up for it -- Lynette was elected into the Basketball Hall of Fame.

As a star at KU, Woodard won the Wade in 1981. She went on to play for the US Olypmic team that won gold in 1984. She was the first woman to play for the Globetrotters. For the past five years, she's been an assistant coach at Kansas.

"I just started with a love for the game," Woodard said today after learning of the honor. "One thing led to another. It's an awesome experience, probably the most beautiful ever as far as the game is concerned. I'm suspended in the feeling. It's sublime."
