The Ohio Basketball Hall of Fame created the Ohio Heritage Award in 2012 to honor previous inductees that have had a significant impact on Ohio after his or her basketball career has ended. The recipient receives his or her award at the Annual Induction Ceremony and serves as our featured speaker. Katie Smith was our 2014 Honoree, but could not attend due to her coaching schedule with the New York Liberty. We will honor her at an upcoming ceremony as her schedule permits.
