Who’s next and why?

Because this question is slightly broad, I’ll tell you the specifics I want:

- Purdue University - Basketball Coach - Naismith Hall Of Fame

This should be fairly easy but if there are no answers in 1 week, I’ll give a hint.

This is my first question on this site and I would greatly appreciate it if I was given some tips. I think this puzzle’s OK but if not then do let me know.

  • $\begingroup$ The last 3 bullets are just part of the pattern. When I was researching for this puzzle I came across 2-3 people who could be the answer, so I gave some more info about the person I want as my answer. $\endgroup$

Through a quick Google search and a bit of digging, I got my answer to be

Ward Lambert

Because

He was head basketball coach at Purdue University between 1916-1946, and was inducted into the Naismith Hall Of Fame in 1960. This should fill your criteria.
