## Resource

From cotton fields to the Hall of Fame: Legendary coach Ted Owens, who rose from a Depression-era farm in Oklahoma to lead Kansas to Final Fours and three hundred forty-eight wins, is set to be inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame this October — joining basketball royalty like Jay Wright and Tubby Smith. His journey, shaped by family, grit, and a deep love for the game, also includes a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame. At 80, Owens reflects on a life devoted to coaching, mentorship, and leaving a legacy that extends far beyond the court.
