The coaches in the Hall of Fame class are Rick Byrd and Tom Penders.

Pierce, 43, averaged 16.4 points and 6.3 rebounds in his three seasons with the Jayhawks. He was a first-team consensus All-American selection in the 1997-98 season and helped lead Kansas to three straight NCAA tournaments, including an Elite Eight berth in the 1995-96 campaign.
